It takes 7 years for an apple tree to bear fruit. If Lydia planted a tree when she was 4 years old and is now 9 years old, how old would she be when she gets to eat an apple from her tree for the first time? Let's be accurate as possible.

The tree has been planted for 9 - 4 = 5 years. It will take another 7 - 5 = 2 years for it to bear fruit. Lydia will be 9 + 2 = 11 years old.
The answer: 11.
