boombreedte
Boombreedte is a Dutch term used in forestry, arboriculture, and urban planning to describe the horizontal extent of a tree’s crown, i.e., the crown width or crown diameter. It denotes the distance across the crown projected onto the ground, typically determined along two perpendicular directions (for example north–south and east–west). The value can be expressed as a single diameter or as the average of the two measured axes.
Measuring boombreedte in the field often involves two tapes or a measuring device positioned from the trunk
Applications of boombreedte include assessing shading impact on nearby structures and pavement, planning planting layouts to
Variations and terminology: the concept is closely related to crown spread, crown width, or canopy diameter.
Limitations: crown width can vary with wind, pruning, and measurement height; using a consistent protocol (specific
