Tree Cookies

I added a sentence about tree cookies to the trunk section of the parts section of the article and it was removed due to allegedly "off topic". In the context of forestry, foresters, logging, nature centers, and forest education I have heard the term tree cookie be used to refer to a slice of a tree. Especially when used to teach people about how to age a tree by "reading" the annual growth rings. I think it is extremely relevant and should be included. But I don't want to start an edit war so I would love to get the perspective of other editors. Middle Mac CJM (talk) 06:05, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact is, however, that a "cookie" is just a piece of timber, an accidental by-product; the cited statement was just a definition (WP:NOTDICT), and it was followed by a brief uncited claim, not good. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. Thank you! Middle Mac CJM (talk) 17:19, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
