  • In dicotyledonous stems, during intra stellar secondary growth, a ring of cambium called vascular cambium is formed.  In the plants growing temperate regions, the activity of vascular cambium is influenced by the existence of maximum seasonal variations
  • In the spring or early summer, due to the existence of favourable conditions, a large amount of secondary xylem is formed.
  • It is called Springwood or early wood. In the autumn season, due to the presence of unfavourable conditions, less amount of wood is formed. it is called autumn wood or latewood.
  • Every ring of spring wood and autumn wood together form into an annual ring.
  • In the 26 rings, 13 rings constitute spring wood and 13 rings constitute autumn wood. So total 13 annual rings are present.
