Appendix 2: Glossary

Age Category:                      The age of the tree is represented as Juvenile, Semi-mature, Mature or Senescent.

Juvenile:                          A young tree, given normal environmental conditions for that tree it will not yet flower or fruit.

Semi-mature:                       Able to reproduce but not yet nearly the size of a mature specimen in that location.

Mature:                            Has reached or nearly reached full size and spread for that species in the given location.

Senescent:                         Old age: health and / or structure is being adversely impacted by the ageing process.

AMENITY VALUE                      A judgement of amenity and utility the tree provides - primarily based on the tree’s visual contribution to the
                                   neighbourhood. Other contributing factors include species, size, age, health and ecological value. Amenity value does not consider
                                   the degree of risk associated with a tree. Trees on neighbouring properties should be protected (unless otherwise negotiated with
                                   the owner) regardless of the amenity value

CANOPY SPREAD                      Overall size of the canopy as looking from a plan view. Recorded at the widest point.

CO-DOMINANT STEMS                  Two stems of approximately the same thickness and height originating from the same position in the tree.

COMMON NAME                        A non-scientific name commonly used for that tree.

CROWN WIDTH                        See ‘Canopy spread’

DBH                                The diameter of the trunk measured at or near 1.4m above ground level. Where there is more than 1 stem originating below 1.4m
(Diameter at Breast Height)        the measurement recorded is calculated as described in AS 4970-2009 for multi-stemmed trees.

DEAD                               Cessation of all metabolic processes (or very soon to be)

DEFECT                             An imperfection, weakness, or lack of something necessary. In trees, defects are injuries, growth patterns, decay, or other
                                   conditions that reduce the tree's structural strength.

DTW                                The distance (in metres) from the proposed works to the centre of the trunk at the base of the tree.
