I don't think it can be more than about 20ys, after all he encountered Emma in the LWM when she was about 6, so its technically possible that he was in the EF when Lily was concieved. Magic. Merlin was likely in the tree for a millenia and he is the most powerful sorcerer in the world---astral projection. Clearly he was still in the tree because Arthur and them were frozen in time and they said Merlin wa sin the tree then as well. Except if Merlin used astral projection then the body he created for himself would be made of magic and so couldn't exist in a world where magic doesn't exist; we've seen that the only way that magic can exist in the LWM is in the form of an enchanted object and I doubt that an object could be enchanted in such a way that would allow him to astral project. Even if two enchanted objects like that were paired, one in with Merlin in Camelot and say one with the Apprentice in the LWM, to allow Merlin to operate outside of Camelot I don't see how they would stay connected across realms. The Apprentice used magic in LWM. Emma's manifest as sparks and energy surges and Merlin is the most powerful peron in all the realms. Merlin also put his house in SB and he was in a tree.
