I have a tree at my place that has tall grass growing around its base, and I'm curious if cutting the grass would make the tree seem taller or if that's just a myth.

Honestly, trimming the grass won't really change the height appearance of your tree. It's still going to look the same height no matter what. If the grass is super tall, it might block the view a bit, but it won't magically make the tree taller itself. Just a little landscaping trick, I guess!
I think trimming around the tree is more about aesthetics than actual height. While it might make the area look tidier, it won't change the tree's height. Think of it like this: hanging out with shorter friends doesn't make you taller!
Exactly, it's all about perspective. The surrounding grass can give an illusion of height, but cutting it just cleans things up.
