It’s a banyan fig. No, age cannot be estimated from pictures. For one thing, it may have been more than one tree originally. And there is open water behind it, so growth rate may be exceptionally high. But I have spent a lot of time around banyans in forests where ages of other trees could be estimated. Maybe 50 years? 100 at the outside? It’s not ancient.
