I do not know why that is relevant, but estimating the age is hardly possible as no one knows how it is grown, how long it has been in that pot, how it was taken care for...

I have a 20 year old elm that could pass for a 5 year old. It was neglected for many years and hardly grew before I picked this hobby up again.

o,I see,I am just curious in regards to It's age.would you say its above or below 10 ?

Is it possible to carve deadwood with manual tools ?
And in any case which shape would be looking natural?

Yes.

Certainly.

Thanks,You meant yes above or yes below 10?

And to which shape would you recommend styling the two thickest trunks?

Thanks again!

Indeed.

And to which shape would you recommend styling the two thickest trunks?

Twin trunk style I guess

So completely remove the thick one's right?

I can't understand what you're saying in regards to it's age, How old you think it is??

It doesn't matter.
Fact is, in China, bonsai exporters cut branches, thick roots, air layers, or graft from old trees to make "instant bonsai", and usually the labels show the age of the original tree.
Auk was saying exactly that in other words.

Yeah I totally get it,The age doesn't matter.
The sole reason I'm asking is out of curiosity!
Is there an estimate?

I don't think I see one, but I guess, as you wrote:

"I have been growing this Olive tree for a couple of years now"

It is older than a couple of years.

This is a picture from a book of a Japanese Maple Clump. It may give you some ideas.
