my definition of a tree is basically "a plant consisting of a single pillar-like robust trunk".

most plants can be trees, especially ones that generally grow as bushes, if they are prodded into doing so by pruning and whatever other pressures, and there are some plants that seem to flip a coin to decide whether they grow into bushes or trees.
