standing trees


Explanation:
Although we say that trees have feet, I don't think it sounds too good if, for example, you have to mention the number of feet in a forest! 'Standing trees' is the only thing that occurs to me right now.

For the optimum exploitation of commercial forests, it is necessary know the volume of the standing trees as precisely as possible. The problem: some morphologically 'extreme’ trunks aren’t easy to measure using traditional techniques.

Clearcutting, or clearfelling, is a method of harvesting that removes essentially all the standing trees in a selected area.

I think it refers to what English-speaking people simply call trees! It doesn't include bushes or suckers.

Neither does it include trees that have 'planted themselves' from seeds: pine nuts, acorns, etc.
