A three-year-old Tilia stem demonstrates how the vascular cambium adds a new layer of xylem every growing season. Students count the growth rings, look at the boundary between one year's wood and the next, and study the broad rays and phloem outside the cambium. The periderm that replaces the epidermis shows how the stem protects itself as it widens.
It is a natural follow-on from the 1-year-old section: place the two under neighbouring microscopes and ask students to explain what has changed. A short written comparison makes an effective assessment task for a secondary-growth lesson.
