"Young" Master Gandalf

Yes, I believe Treebeard was merely referring to the fact that Gandalf and the other Istari only appeared physically on Arda in the Third Age, whereas Ents have been around since the first. Also, one could say that Gandalf is technically of a mortal age, though he's still Maiar. The Ent, Fangorn, has seen more of the world than Gandalf.

I suppose that's the case and plus, Treebeard didn't know what the Istari were.
