Dendrochronology is also known as tree-ring dating. It is a scientific method for analysing tree ring patterns to determine the exact date of a tree. By examining the actual patterns of growth, such as the gap between rings, it is also possible to see how the tree has responded to its environment. You can read more about Dendrochronology here.

We will be working with our partners Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory, to undertake a full dendrochronological analysis of the OneOak tree, from cross sections of the tree once that it is felled. The information will be posted here when it is available.
