how do I state the age of a tree?
-
A friend has just asked me how he would say a sentence like "The tree is five years old" and I realised I'm not sure... I'm thinking it might be something like:
Ki wa uetsukete kara go-nen ni naru. ?
-- but that's assumes I know it's been planted. Is there a more natural, generic way to talk about a tree that might have grown there by itself? Thank you! -
I think use 樹齢 （じゅれい） when talking about the age of a tree.
この木は樹齢５年です。 -
Great! Thank you very much!

Thank you! This is really helpful.
Howdy, Stranger!
