A live crown is basically the top part of a tree that has leaves, branches, and is alive. It's like the part of a plant that grows up towards the sky and helps give the tree energy to grow taller and stronger. It's kind of like the tree's hair that helps it breathe and stay healthy. When a tree is healthy, it will have a big live crown with lots of leaves and branches, and this is a good sign that the tree is doing well. However, if the tree gets sick or damaged, its live crown may start to shrink, and this can be bad for the tree's health. So it's important to take care of a tree's live crown so that it can keep growing and providing shade and beauty for us to enjoy!
