Q.Age Question

Hi!
I was wondering if you could tell me how old a 7 inch European cypress is?

These are often sold at Christmas time as gifts or trained as bonsai. It is impossible to tell the age of a tree by height. You can keep a bonsai under a foot tall for more than 50 years.

I can give an approximate age of between 1 and 2 years, but if this has been a bonsai for some time, then I could be way off. The age of the tree will not affect its care.
