Tree stump, about 37 years after falling A tree stump is the remaining portion of a tree trunk and its roots that remain after a tree has been felled or has naturally fallen. The roots often remain largely intact underground.
The cross section of a tree stump shows the annual growth rings that can reveal the tree's age, growth patterns, and environmental conditions during its lifetime. The scientific study of these rings, known as dendrochronology, can reveal historical climate information.
