What kind of tree is it?

Trees convert light energy into sugars, creating the basis of every food chain. To do this, they use carbon dioxide, taking it out of the atmosphere and generating oxygen. These processes are the foundation of life on this planet. This alone explains why trees are the most advanced technology in the world. And that's just the beginning, because they can also filter and purify air and water, hold soil and make it fertile, provide shade and protection from the wind, communicate with each other through sophisticated systems of funghi and roots, be a home for other creatures and, well, so much more. If you're planning a hi-tech gift for Christmas, a tree is really the best that you can give!
