Some fruit trees bloom earlier than others. Usually, the blossoms do not last long. Sharing the fruit from one’s trees is a neighborly gesture.

Its branches spread wide, shading a large area. Another tree with wide branches is the elm. The long branches of the willow tree dip close to the water. The seeds of many trees are carried far away by winds.
