    A node is where a leaf attaches to a twig, while an internode is the space between nodes on a twig. D.B.H. refers to the diameter of a tree trunk measured at breast height, which is 4.5 feet from the ground. Tree leaves can be arranged oppositely in pairs at nodes, alternately singly along stems, or whorled with three or more at a single node.
