Tree Forms
Trees seem to develop two noticeable forms.
Firstly, trees grown in competition with other
trees become the emergent vegetation and develop a
long, cylindrical bole above the buttress. The more-
or-less horizontal branches come out high on the trunk
and provide a noticeably flat base for the crown
of the tree. Secondly, trees grown without significant
vegetative competition are less inclined to have a
trunk free of mid-level branches. The width of these trees are usually noticeably greater than the height.
