A tree is a tall plant, usually with a trunk, branches, and leaves.
Trees are an important part of the Bible. They were created on the Third Day of Creation.[1] It was from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that Eve brought evil into the world.[2] Jotham used a parable about trees to criticize his brother Abimelech.[3] And it was on the wood of a tree that our Savior, Jesus Christ, was crucified.
In mathematics, a tree is also a graph with no cycles, so called because they often resemble actual live trees.
Logging is the harvesting of trees for commercial or forest management purposes.
