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, colloquially. They grew like this as they are plants well suited for seaside wind and storms, hurricanes… Wetland plants. The grasses that didn’t give up. Tree definitions vary from form vs function, and form is used more colloquially.

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 see a fight coming your way in the talk section, lol. Good luck.

No tree is a tree. “Tree” is not a clearly-defined taxonomical category. Anything that is tree-like gets grouped under the catgory “tree”.
I think it’s arguable that “tree” is just a term for a growth habit rather than anything really taxonomically meaningful.
