Even trees come in many shapes and sizes.
From prickly bushes with big wide leaves.
To towering pine trees with their sturdy trunks.
They stay green all year round because they're evergreen.

And they drop pine cones that are full of seeds.
With a little water and sunlight, the seeds will grow into more plants!
