Definition
A standard tree is a tree with a long, unbranched trunk, with the crown starting only above it. Standard fruit trees grow large, can bear fruit for a long time and stand in traditional orchards, for example. Their height often calls for a ladder, telescopic tools or an aerial work platform for pruning and care.
