TIL that trees are the same as vegetables and weeds, arbitrary cultural groupings. We should make an arbitrary cultural group name for arbitrary cultural grouped things!
So far the group is:
-Trees
-Vegetables
-Weeds
-Pets
-Continents
-The culinary use of fruit
Technically you’re not wrong. Mainly because there’s no agreed upon technical definition of what does or doesn’t constitute a tree.
the definition of tree is literally just something that looks like a tree: a woody trunk with branches.

Berries, insects
I think both of those have rigid scientific definitions.
Oh yeah. I thought you meant how they are used culturally. Because we have many nok-berries with berry in their name.
Most won’t consider it a tree but who am I to judge
Most are wrong then. If you can make toothpicks out of it, it’s a tree.
You can make toothpicks out of anything if you’re willing to find a hard bit in it that can be sharpened or whittled.
Holds up a chicken. Behold! A tree!
