No matter where you live, in the city or country, trees and shrubs are a main part of the local environment. Certain species produce fruit, while others are there to just look nice. Sometimes trees are specifically planted, while other times they grow on their own. No matter the reason you have trees, you might be interested to know that there are a lot of facts about them that you probably don’t know. Let's go over some of these fun facts.
