-tip is to signal the 'cutting edge/summit' of the trees we are 
maintaining and working on. "define:tip" on google gives:

tip:
  [...]
  peak: the top or extreme point of something (usually a mountain or 
  hill); "the view from the peak was magnificent"; "they clambered 
  to the tip of Monadnock"; "the region is a few molecules wide at 
  the summit"
