It is wrong in that it does not perform the task expected of the user. The user wants to know how to determine the age of a tree, if the user already knew the age of the tree they wouldn't be asking.

If it answered that 1+1=2 it also would not be wrong, but it would still be a useless answer, which is wrong in that it is not what the user asked for.
