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

Oh yeah. I thought you meant how they are used culturally. Because we have many nok-berries with berry in their name.
