Not quite...
It's all relative to the observer (Einstein)
To the person outside the plane observing, the fly is flying at 633 mph. However, to the person inside the plane observing, the fly is flying at 3 mph.
As to the branch cutting off the old tree, the cutting is as old as the number of days it has been growing. If it has been growing on the old tree for 5 years before it was cut, then it is 5 years old. Nothing relative here.
Finally, the age of the tree and how long it has been in bonsai culture are two different measurements.
