Bump! Fun fact: "Tree" isn't a very useful word in phylogenic terms; an oak tree is more closely related to a dandelion than to a spruce tree, for example. So when we talk about trees, we're not talking about a group of closely related organisms, just describing an extremely broad group of plants that all happen to grow in a similar way!
