What's that about exactly?
I'm a bit puzzled about "over-mature" and "senescent". Are they the
same thing?
Quite.
Hence the need for some standardised definitions.
And anyway, are we talking about tree age or condition? "Young" (for
instance) is a statement of fact; "over-mature", on the other hand, is a
value judgement, while "senescent" is a diagnosis.
What's wrong with "Old"?
(Apart from the fact that oiks might understand it)
