Feathered trees are defined as ‘‘trees usually with an upright central leading shoot and a stem furnished with evenly spread and balanced lateral growths down to near ground level, according to species.’’ Feathered trees are specified with reference to two or more of the following:
The form of a feathered tree reflects the natural characteristics of
the plant. Some species are well branched from a young age (e.g. Betula
