Open branching tree with jagged leaf clusters
Free CAD block from the Trees in plan library (74 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Open branching tree with jagged leaf clusters, drawn in plan view. It measures 14' 2" wide and 12' 11" deep (4.33 m × 3.94 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
From the Trees in plan library: 74 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Open branching with jagged leaf clusters gives a crown that reads as a mature deciduous tree on a ⅛ in = 1 ft (1:100) garden plan or a 1/16 in = 1 ft (1:200) landscape layout for a hotel or a housing courtyard. Its 14 ft 2 in (433 cm) spread suits the center of a lawn, and the gaps between clusters let paths and paving show through.
Clearances to leave
The crown is wider than deep at 14 ft 2 in × 12 ft 11 in (433 × 394 cm), so rotate the block to align its long axis with the lawn. Keep the trunk 13–20 ft (4–6 m) from buildings and 18–24 in (46–61 cm) back from any curb face, and leave 8 ft (2.4 m) of headroom beneath over a path.
Pairs with
Combine it with the Tree of sinuous branches with scattered circle leaves as a second branched crown, and the Crinkled irregular tree outline with trunk circle for smaller trees along the boundary; a pair set on either side of a terrace frames the view.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 14' 2" | 4.33 m wide by 12' 11" | 3.94 m deep. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.
How much floor space does it take?
Its footprint is 183.7 ft² (17.07 m²). Leave at least 2' 11" of clear walkway on the sides people use.

Design notes
- Keep tree canopies at least 6' 7" from the house; large species need half their mature spread.
- A terrace for a table of four needs about 9' 10" × 9' 10" to move round it.
- Plan symbols at their real canopy size show clients how much shade a tree will give.
