I love how it's logical, but untrue. A tree might have been planted in 1950 or 2000 but be the same "age" if both were cut after 10 years
Good point I didn't even think about the fact you might ask the age of a cut tree which might have not been cut recently.
is it still a tree if it's been cut down? at what point does it become simply wood?
In some languages, the word for "tree" and the word for "wood" are the same.
