Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) has been proven to be of great dendroclimatic
potential in several areas of its natural distribution in India. Growth rings are a useful tool for the determination of age and growth rate of the trees in wood production of managed stands. Several dendroecological and dendroclimatological studies have been carried out on tree species from upper tree-line in different mountain regions. Many trees in the tropical forests of the Indian subcontinent are known to produce growth rings. Teak tree is widely distributed in the peninsular and Central India, and has been studied from a dendrochronological point of view at several sites.
