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.

I really can't seem to see the connection between me being into video games/tech, and me potentially wanting to make my own throat lozenges.

then again all the trees being starved of water by the data center may disagree

In Africa, a tree's age is determined by how long ago it was planted.

1 tree's worth of water was used to give you that answer
