Trees

Sizing

Trees are sized according to the circumference of their trunk at one metre above ground level.  For instance, the size is shown as 10/12 if the distance round the trunk at one metre is between 10cms and 12cms.

To gauge the height of a tree from this form of measurement, the following table can used to give a very average guide.

Size	Term	Height in metres	Height in feet
6/8	Light Standard	2.5 - 3	8 - 10
8/10	Standard(but bushier than above)	2.5 - 3	8 - 10
10/12	Selected Standard	3 - 3.5	10 - 12
12/14	Heavy Standatd	3.5 - 4.25	12 - 14
14/16	Extra Heavy Standard	4.25 - 6	14 - 20
16/18	Advanced Nursery Stock	4.5 - 6.25	14 - 20
18/20	Advanced Nursery Stock	4.5 - 6.5	14 - 21
20/25	Semi-mature	6 - 7.5	20 - 25

You can have even larger specimens.

These are all standard trees and usually have clear trunks up to 1.5 metres or 4 foot 6 inches.

Feathered trees are shown as their height.

Weeping trees are almost always shorter than the above suggests.

Some trees are also grown as multi-stemmed and are specified by height not circumference.

In most varieties larger trees are supplied with burlapped or wire caged root balls as appropriate.
