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

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.
