Sprouted A Beard?

Hi,

In "He had sprouted a beard", does 'sprout' imply that he was at early adulthood, when males usually start to grow a beard, or does it simply mean that he just had worn a beard regardless of his age?

This was an example of the word usage of 'sprout' and no further context was available.


Thank you.
