  • bbnkstr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1did i say it was a tree? noo, i said it was a broadleaf..try reading next time and thinking before you comment :P technically..if i wanted to call it a tree, then I could:

    tree (n.) 1. a. A perennial woody plant having a main trunk and usually a distinct crown. b. A plant or shrub resembling a tree in form or size.
  • csrster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1You mean there are different kinds?
  • Alisic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's been proven by real scientists that trees (those found in nature, binary trees are cool) are the most boring things in the universe. Fact.
  • wesochuck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You could also use "What tree is it?" from the Ohio Public Library Information Network:

  • bergur1, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3wow...I expected more than some terms you learn in a day of forestry class...

    Technically you ARE identifying a tree but if you cannot give me the name of the tree itself that is kinda pointless.
  • orgasmatron, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4man it seems like the stories on digg are getting ***** everyday...

    I'm sure its a nice site and all..but if I really wanted to identify trees in my spare time id just use google or something...

    digg me down.
