English term or phrase: appearance of age
Hello,

I´d appreciate your help with this sentence.
Although I understand what it means, I am having trouble finding the words in Spanish... I must be tired... : /

This is an explanation on the third day of Creation.

"God caused trees and all the plant kingdom to come forth out of the dry land, and all of these had the appearance of age. The trees and plants were capable of bearing fruit. That which would be needed by mankind was already prepared three days before God created man."

Thanks and blessings,
Elena

mostraban su edad / aparentaban su edad


Explanation:
También podría ser "mostraban el aspecto correspondiente a su edad", pero creo que lo que propongo es más compacto e igualmente claro.
