Lower Canopy Tree definition

Lower Canopy Tree means a tree of a species that tends to be less than 40 feet tall at maturity. Lower Canopy Trees tend to have leaves and needles larger and softer than those of Upper Canopy Trees, better able to catch the available light and with less need to defend against the buffeting of the wind and rain. Most Lower Canopy Trees, including the ornamentals and fruit trees, are not native to the Monterey peninsula.
