Terms of use

Last updated November 10, 2026

By using Big Tree Finder you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

General information, not advice

The site offers general information to help you compare trees. Sizes, growth rates, hardiness zones and care notes are typical figures and estimates; real trees vary with climate, soil, site and care. The information is not professional horticultural, arboricultural, legal or safety advice. Before planting, especially near buildings, foundations, pipes or power lines, check with a qualified local professional and any local rules.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We do our best to keep it accurate and working, but we make no promises that it is complete, accurate, current or free of errors, or that it will always be available.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Big Tree Finder is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on its information, including decisions about what and where to plant.

Content and photos

The site's text, drawings and design are © Big Tree Finder. You are welcome to link to any page and to share or print pages for personal use. Photos belong to their photographers and are used under the open licenses shown with each photo and on the Photo credits page; your reuse of a photo is governed by its license.

Acceptable use

Please do not interfere with the site, try to break its security, or use automated tools in a way that places an unreasonable load on it.

Other sites

Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content or practices.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
