Abstract
A geospatial modeling system may include a geospatial model database containing geospatial model data, a display, and a processor. The processor may cooperate with the geospatial model database and the display for determining a respective group of tree crown vegetation points from the geospatial model data for each tree of a plurality of trees, and for displaying a respective simulated tree trunk beneath each group of tree crown vegetation points. The processor may generate each simulated tree trunk to have a tree trunk height based upon heights of the respective group of tree crown vegetation points.
