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
