How old is our walnut tree?

Question

We have a walnut tree in our garden and unfortunately don't know how old it is. It's about 3 to 3.5 meters tall. Can someone tell me if there's any way I can calculate how old it might be? It's grown wild. How tall does it grow per year? Thank you in advance.

Cut him with the ax and count the rings

For average growth conditions, I would say about 10 to 15 years

Try to trace the branch back to the trunk at a main branch. The demarcations of the annual growths would have to be discernible and then the approximate age.
3.50 m is not the end. If he's gone wild, it's a seedling from a walnut. It'll be two floors up. And also about as wide. Such trees remain lower only when they are grafted on a weaker growing rootstock (coated).
