Tree Ring Displays and Kits
Acorn Naturalists now offers a wide selection of tree limb cross sections. These quality rounds range in size from 2" to 5" across by 1/4"-1/2" thick and allow for clear reading of growth rings. Tree rings vary in size and appearance depending on growing conditions and species variations. Oaks can be identified by their characteristic radial rays, all show classic seasonal dry/wet ring patterns. Tree rounds provide an ideal hands-on resource for introducing students to botany, forestry, dendrology and methods scientists use to determine past climatic conditions. Acorn Naturalists offers a varied selection of fourteen different tree rounds: six eastern/midwestern species are offered along with eight western species. Also available is a bark beetle life cycle demonstration kit and two tree round discovery kits (eastern and western).
