Dec 5, 2017 at 10:40 comment added koalo @ManfredWeis I like the idea, but since it is not so obvious I will use breadth.
Dec 3, 2017 at 14:45 comment added Manfred Weis @koalo the idea behind it was an analogy to a biological tree with the sun vertically above it; the shadow would then resemble the maximal width; o.k. the analogy is not obvious and has weaknesses, so just ignore my suggestion.

Dec 3, 2017 at 13:47 comment added koalo @ManfredWeis I don't get the idea behind "shadow width" :-(
Dec 1, 2017 at 15:14 comment added Manfred Weis If a new term would acceptable how about "the shadow width" of the tree?

Dec 1, 2017 at 12:39 comment added Ben Barber I wouldn't object to "width" as an ad hoc usage, but it isn't standard. If the tree were generated by a branching process you might call it the size of the largest generation.
