tree height
Crown's vertical reach
Tree height is the vertical distance from a tree's base to its highest point.
In forestry, tree height is a key measurement for estimating timber volume and tracking growth: We measured tree height using a clinometer.
Height can be measured to the top of the crown or to the tip of the main stem, depending on the application.
