Krummholz (German: krumm, "crooked, bent, twisted" and Holz, "wood") — also called knieholz ("knee timber") — is a type of stunted, deformed vegetation encountered in the subarctic and subalpine tree line landscapes, shaped by continual exposure to fierce, freezing winds.
[53] [54] Breast height is defined differently in different situations, with most forestry measurements taking girth at 1.3 m above ground, [54] while those who measure ornamental trees usually measure at 1.5 m above ground; [53] in most cases this makes little difference to the measured girth.
A database of over 69,000 such designated trees in the UK, detailed by genus, species, height, girth, site, county and country is maintained at the Tree Register. [3] This UK database dates back to 1620 and in 2022 completed the recording of its 250,000th tree. [4] The designations in the US are recorded in the National Register of Champion Trees.
