| Domain | Definition |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of trees in new foliage, foretells a happy consummation of hopes and desires. Dead trees signal sorrow and loss. To climb a tree is a sign of swift elevation and preferment. To cut one down, or pull it up by the roots, denotes that you will waste your energies and wealth foolishly. To see green tress newly felled, portends unhappiness coming unexpectedly upon scenes of enjoyment, or prosperity. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |
Health | Woody, usually tall, perennial higher plants (Angiosperms, Gymnosperms, and some Pterophyta) having usually a main stem and numerous branches. (references) |

A fruit tree is a tree bearing fruit — the structures formed by the ripened ovary of a flower containing one or more seeds. However, because all trees of flowering plants produce fruit (essentially all trees except tree ferns and gymnosperms), the term in horticultural usage applies to trees providing fruit as human food. Types of fruits are described and defined elsewhere (see Fruit), but would include fruit in a culinary sense as well as some nut bearing trees, like walnuts .
Examples of tree fruit include:
- Almond
- Appless
- Cherries
- Morello cherries
- Pears
- Peaches and Nectarines
- Plums

- This article is about the biological meaning of tree. For other meanings of the word see tree (graph theory) and tree data structure.
A tree is defined as a perennial plant at least 4.5 m (15 ft) high at maturity, and with branches supported on a single main stem. Trees are important components of the natural landscape and significant elements in landscaping. Compared with most other forms of plants, trees are long-lived. A few species of trees grow to over 100 m (300 ft) tall and some live for several millennia.
Baobab tree in South-Africa The component parts of a tree are the roots, trunk(s), branches, twigs and leaves. Tree stems consist mainly of support and transport tissues (xylem and phloem). In fact, wood consists of xylem cells, and the bark is primarily made of phloem. As a tree grows, it creates growth rings, which can be counted in temperate climates to determine the age of the tree, and used to date cores or even lumber taken from trees in the past, using the science of dendrochronology. The roots of a tree are generally embedded in earth, providing anchorage for the above-ground biomass and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. Above ground, the trunk gives height to the leaf-bearing branches, aiding in competition with other plant species for sunlight. In many trees the arrangement of the branches optimize exposure of the leaves to sunlight.
A small group of trees growing together is called a grove or coppice, and a landscape covered of many trees is called a forest. Several biotopes are defined largely by the trees that inhabit them, for example, the rainforest and the taiga. Large, but scattered trees with grassland (usually burned over periodically) in between is called a savanna.
Not all trees have the plant organs mentioned above. For examples: most palmss are not branched, the saguaro cactus of North America has no functional leaves, tree ferns do not have bark, etc. Based on their rough shape and size, all of these are nonetheless generally regarded as trees. Indeed, sometimes size is the most important consideration. A plant form that is similar to a tree, but generally having smaller, multiple trunks and/or branches that arise near the ground, is called a shrub. However, no sharp differentiation between shrubs and trees is possible.
Trees often serve as important symbols in mythologies and religions. Examples are Yggdrasil in the Norse Mythology, the Christmas Tree that is derived from Germanicic mythology, the Tree of Knowledge of Judaism and Christianity, and the Bodhi tree in Buddhism. In some religions, such as Hinduism, trees are said to be the homes of tree spirits.
Trees occur in many diverse families of plants, and thus show a wide variety of leaf types and shapes, bark, flowers, fruit, etc. The earliest trees were probably tree ferns, which grew in vast forests. Later the gymnosperms, ginkgos and cycads appeared (most modern cycads no longer appear as trees). Most species of trees today are flowering plants and conifers.

In graph theory, a tree is a graph in which any two vertices are connected by exactly one path. A forest is a graph in which any two vertices are connected by at most one path. Each forest is a disjoint union of trees (hence the name).
Definitions
An undirected simple graph G is a tree if it satisfies one (and therefore all) of the following equivalent conditions:
If G has finitely many vertices, say n of them, then the above statements are also equivalent to:
- G is connected and has no simple cycles
- G has no simple cycles and, if any edge is added to G, then a simple cycle is formed
- G is connected and, if any edge is removed from G, then it is not connected anymore
- Any two vertices in G can be connected by a unique simple path.
An undirected simple graph G is called a forest if it has no simple cycles.
- G is connected and has n-1 edges
- G has no simple cycles and has n-1 edges
Example
The example tree shown to the right has 6 vertices and 6-1=5 edges. The unique simple path connecting the vertices 2 and 6 is 2-4-5-6.
Facts
Every tree is planar and bipartite.
Every connected graph G admits a spanning tree, which is a tree that contains every vertex of G and whose edges are edges of G.
Given n different vertices, there are nn-2 different ways to connect them to make a tree. No closed formula for the number t(n) of trees with n vertices up to graph isomorphism is known. However, the asymptotic behavior of t(n) is known: there are numbers α≈3 and β≈0.5 such that

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In computer science, a tree is a computer data structure that emulates a tree structure with a set of linked nodes. Each node has zero or more child nodes, which are below it in the tree (in computer science, unlike in nature, trees grow down, not up). The node of which a node is a child is called its parent node. A child has at most one parent; a node without a parent is called the root node (or root). Nodes with no children are called leaf nodes.
In graph theory, a tree is a connected acyclic graph. A rooted tree is such a graph with a vertex singled out as the root. In this case, any two vertices connected by an edge inherit a parent-child relationship. An acyclic graph with multiple connected components or a set of rooted trees is sometimes called a forest.
In a tree data structure, there is no distinction between the various children of a node --- none is the "first child" or "last child". A tree in which such distinctions are made is called an ordered tree, and data structures built on them are called ordered tree data structures. Ordered trees are by far the commonest form of tree data structure.
Binary trees are one kind of ordered tree, and there is a one-to-one mapping between binary trees and general ordered trees.
There are many different ways to represent trees; common representations represent the nodes as records allocated on the heap with pointers to their children, their parents, or both, or as items in an array, with relationships between them determined by their positions in the array (e.g., binary heap).
