About 50 years old?
Just a guess by the size, the bark, and the rot.I’m not sure! The center of the stump is rotted out, that’s the reason it fell over. I’ll look at some of my splits and try to figure it out!

Was there an old scar on the butt of that tree? If not I’d be willing to bet the rest of those for around it would of root rot as well if there’s not a scar on that one.I found a good piece, 69 rings

Somewhat right, it’s a pathogen and will stay in the soil till every scrap of Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock is decayed.My understanding of root rot in Doug Fir is that it generally transmits from root to root so you see "meadows" formed until other species take up the space or the root rot dies out. If true, this would explain why I seldom see Doug Fir trees in cities die of root rot. All the roads make "islands" out of the root systems so the root rot cannot come in contact with another tree's roots. Those are only my thoughts; I have never seen that documented.
