      Technically you’re not wrong. Mainly because there’s no agreed upon technical definition of what does or doesn’t constitute a tree.

        the definition of tree is literally just something that looks like a tree: a woody trunk with branches.

          TIL that trees are the same as vegetables and weeds, arbitrary cultural groupings. We should make an arbitrary cultural group name for arbitrary cultural grouped things!

          So far the group is: -Trees -Vegetables -Weeds -Pets -Continents -The culinary use of fruit

            I feel like sports could fit into that pretty well.

              I think both of those have rigid scientific definitions.

                Oh yeah. I thought you meant how they are used culturally. Because we have many nok-berries with berry in their name.

        Most won’t consider it a tree but who am I to judge

          Most are wrong then. If you can make toothpicks out of it, it’s a tree.

            You can make toothpicks out of anything if you’re willing to find a hard bit in it that can be sharpened or whittled.

            Holds up a chicken. Behold! A tree!

            So… Everything is a tree? 🤔

            Nope, that’s not how the definition of a tree works. Look at swednek’s definition in the comments: it is a woody trunk with branches. There are many other plants you could make toothpicks out of (e.g. that are woody) that aren’t trees. For example, shrubs and lianas.

    Because there is no such thing ad a tree. A tree is just a way some plants like to grow.

    Every lawn would look like a forest if grass were as tall as bamboo. Every forest would look like grasslands if trees were as tall as grass.
