Tree Time

Apple, Plum, Orange, Lemon, Lime
All give us their sweet Fruits
Alder, Birch, Hawthorn and Sycamore
Spread from solid roots
 
Elder, Fern, Gingko, Hazel
Sweet Gum, Hornbeam, Fig
Bald and False Cypress, Beech
Grow their fearless twigs

There's Holly, Mountain, Ash and Pine
Poplar, Spruce and Yew
Elm, Eucalyptus, Cycad, Conifer
Walnut.  Monkey Puzzle too

Japanese Snowbell, Shellback Hickory
Sequoia, Juniper, Larch
Littleleaf Linden, Maidenhair
Maple with darkening bark

Dessert Willow, Pussy Willow,
Weeping Willows drooping low
While Magnolia, Redbud and Whitebeam
Let their colours show

Coconut, Fan, Fishtail, Foxtail  
They're all types of Palm
If you're getting sick of all these trees
We're nearly done, so just keep calm!

Air to breathe.  Wood to build.
Nature's beautifully bonkers
If I had to pick between them all
The Horse Chestnut wins - with conkers!
