The live crown is the top part of a tree, the part that has green leaves (as opposed to the bare trunk, bare branches, and dead leaves). The ratio of the size of a tree's live crown to its total height is used in estimating its health and its level of competition with neighboring trees. [1] This is referred to as the Live Crown Ratio (LCR). [1]

In forestry, a tree crown measurement is one of the tree measurements taken at the crown of a tree, which consists of the mass of foliage and branches growing outward from the trunk of the tree. The average crown spread is the average horizontal width of the crown, taken from dripline to dripline as one moves around the crown.
Branch attachment in common ash Fraxinus excelsior L. Figure 1: Anatomical drawing of the wood grain of a branch attachment in a tree. Initially branches are mechanically attached to the trunks of trees by forming interlocking wood grain patterns at the top of the joint, within what is known as 'axillary wood' (Fig. 1). [1]

A branch collar on a common oak (Quercus robur L.). Tree branches are attached to the trunk with a series of trunk collars that annually envelope the branch collar. [1] The branch tissues develop a basal collar first in spring, then trunk tissue envelops the collar later during seasons of growth. [1]
