Oscar and Lucinda meet in a tropical rain forest and fall in love, and he carves their initials into the bark of a tiny tree. They never do get together though. Ten years later, still heartbroken, Oscar searches for the tree. Given what you know about primary and secondary growth, will he find the carved initials higher relative to ground level? If he goes berserk and chops down the tree, what kinds of growth rings will he see?
