I have been getting confused about when a bush turns into a tree! I emailed Trees2mydoor and got this reply -
Hello Trisha, Many thanks for your e-mail.
Yes, you are correct, the bushes/hedges of Elder, Blackthorn and Hawthorn are the same as trees. The main difference being that the trees are turned into hedges if the trees are clipped and pruned.
If the plants are left to grow naturally, they will be classed as trees.
If you need any further info, please get in touch, we are more than happy to help. Regards

In the English countryside I have seen really big hawthorn, elderberry and other bushes as big as trees, yet to me they are hedges. So the info from trees2mydoor explains a lot.
Take a look –
