I think it's arguable that "tree" is just a term for a growth habit rather than anything really taxonomically meaningful.

agreed. my grandma used to have a big ol' tree in her front yard, but it had to get cut down. it didn't die though, and thanks to this unintentional coppicing, it is now an enormous bush. my grandma is very proud of her bush.
