Common use of Suppressed Tree Clause in Contracts

Suppressed Tree. A tree whose crown is completely overtopped by the crowns of one or more neighboring trees (Dictionary of Forestry, Society of American Foresters). Suppressed trees often have a low crown ratio (less than 30 percent). Distances are measured slope distance to face of the tree at DSH. All live conifer trees within the subdivision, including boundary trees, greater than or equal to minimum DBH in A.2 count towards residual stocking. These specifications apply only to trees which meet the minimum tree diameter stated in A.2. A basal area factor of 10 will be used to determine stocking compliance. Stewardship Project 001 shall be completed prior to commercial harvesting.
