standing timber
Trees before felling
Standing timber refers to trees that are still alive and rooted in the ground, considered as a commercial resource.
The term distinguishes harvestable trees from felled logs or processed lumber: The property includes forty acres of standing timber.
Foresters and landowners assess standing timber for its potential value before logging operations begin.
