Nah, it’s correct. Just needs a clarifying sentence. They use the word tree but it’s not technically a tree, rather tree-like. The word tree is used for ease. They grew like this as they are plants well suited for seaside wind and storms. The grasses thay didn’t give up.
agreed. my grandma used to have a big ol’ tree in her front yard, but it had to get cut down. it didn’t die though, and thanks to this unintentional coppicing, it is now an enormous bush. my grandma is very proud of her bush.

I think it’s arguable that “tree” is just a term for a growth habit rather than anything really taxonomically meaningful.

No tree is a tree. “Tree” is not a clearly-defined taxonomical category. Anything that is tree-like gets grouped under the catgory “tree”.
