A tree bole is the root and trunk (bottom of the trunk I think).
Not all tree-related feature is created by a tree falling over. Some trees/shrubs boles are pulled/dug out or burnt out.
I have even seen tree boles (stumps) being blasted out of the ground with slow-dynamite (I have interesting relatives!)
I've also heard tree grub-hole (my favourite).
I'm so sad that when on holiday/ going for walks I love investigating modern tree-throws and grub-holes. I've seen some that scarily look like dug pits where a tree with a certain root structure falls in such a way that the whole root bole comes out of the ground leaving a negative feature with fairly good edges all the way round......xx(
