Trunk taper refers to the gradual decrease in diameter of a tree's trunk as it extends from the base to the top. This taper is important for the structural integrity and stability of the tree, allowing it to support its weight and resist wind forces. A well-defined taper can also enhance the tree's aesthetic appeal and is often considered in forestry and tree management practices. Poor taper can lead to structural weaknesses and increased susceptibility to damage.
The purpose of measuring taper angle is to obtain taper angle
This is the formula for calculating a taper: Large diameter of the taper minus the small Diameter of the taper divided by the length of of the taper will give you the taper per inch. You will also need to know the included angle of the taper if you ar cutting this taper. This formula would be Tangent of the included angle divide by 2.
This means that it is the opposite of the normal direction that a taper goes. Example; If a normal taper goes to the left, a reverse taper goes to the right.
