- colinb 5y agoHmm. Second meaning in my dictionary is "2 Ecology of or denoting a plant which is taller than the surrounding vegetation, especially a tall tree in a forest. • of or denoting a water plant with leaves and flowers that appear above the water surface." Is this tree taller than others nearby?
