The Assessment was carried out in Dinderesso Field Genebank Site
The height of the tree
The collar circumference of each tree was measured at the base of the trunk, just above the point where the roots begin to spread, using a flexible measuring tape, ensuring that the tape line was perpendicular to the trunk axis.
The tree circumference at breast height (approximately 1.30 m above ground) was measured for all trees, following standard forestry practices. The measurement was taken with a flexible tape, making sure it remained horizontal.
The stem height is the height of the stem or trunk from root collar to the first branch of the tree.
Number of main branches observed on a single tree accession
Canopy width is measured along two axes: north-south (NS) and east-west (EW). The maximum crown width in each direction was measured with a measuring tape, ensuring measurements were perpendicular to the opposite direction.
