The tree was struck by lightning, igniting it and starting a forest fire that spread to the other trees in the woods.

That tree has been in my yard for generations, its leaves providing shade for both my kids and my grandkids as they play in the grass.

The leaves of this tree are slowly dying, turning brown as winter approaches, though they will grow back later.

I planted a tree in my backyard with my son, but it will take many years before it grows to full size and provides my yard with the shade of its leaves.

We cut down the tree on the edge of the country road so we could use its trunk as lumber for our treehouse.
