Tree basal area. Tree Basal Area (TBA) is the cross-sectional area (over the bark) at breast height (1.3 metres above the ground) measured in metres squared (m2). TBA can be used to estimate tree volumes and stand competition.ree Basal Area (TBA) is the cross-sectional area (over the bark) at breast height (1.3 metres above the ground) measured in metres squared (m2).
Basal and root suckers should always be removed. They are usually found at the tree base but can also sprout from roots several feet away from the trunk. Suckers should be removed at the root or tree base connection. Tear rather than cut away the shoot so that the majority of dormant basal buds are removed thus reducing the possibility of re-growth. Some sources suggest suggest applying glyphosate or triclopyr to the sprouts but only if you severe the root from the tree.
