2. Pollarding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollarding

   Pollarding tends to make trees live longer by maintaining them in a partially juvenile state and by reducing the weight and windage of the top part of the tree. [6] Older pollards often become hollow, so it can be difficult to determine age accurately. Pollards tend to grow slowly, with denser growth-rings in the years immediately after cutting.

3. Tree measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_measurement

   Larger trees can be climbed and a tape measurement made from the highest point of the climb to the base of the tree. The distance to the top of the tree can be measured from that point, if needed, using a pole. Historically the most direct method of finding a tree's height was to cut it down and measure it prostrate on the ground. [citation needed]

4. Tree height measurement - Wikipedia

   Plan to remove the supports after six months and check the tree for stability by gently pushing against the trunk; if the root system moves with the trunk, reattach the supports for one more season.

6. Biltmore stick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biltmore_stick

   Diameter at breast height (DBH) is measured by holding the stick a fixed distance, usually 25 inches (64 cm), from the eye, and at breast height, which in the United States is 4.5 feet (1.4 m) up the bole of the tree. The left side of the stick is flush with the left side of the tree.

7. Tree girth measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_girth_measurement

   The distance should be measured along the side of the trunk from the base point of the center of the tree. The measurement is taken at a right (90 degree) angle to the trunk. Some groups recommend measuring the girth at breast height on the upper side when the tree is on a slope rather than from midpoint on the slope.
