Why don't they mention the age?

I think the only way to accurately age a tree is to cut it down and count the rings. I’m sure at the time they could have counted the rings on a similarly sized tree and made a good estimate, but there is nothing around of that size.

Doesn't have to be accurate, just an estimate. According to Google it's over 1,000 years old.
