Once again, it’s time for MrsT’s quizzes to branch out and spread their roots, and this round... you’ve guessed it, its trees! They help regulate our climate and provide food and shelter for a whole host of animals as well as providing us with a variety of resources, we might otherwise take for granted. Let’s face it, what wood (pun intended) the world be without trees? They come in all shapes and sizes, as do the leaves and fruit that they bare and yes, I was one of those kids who loved the school trip to Westonbirt Arboretum. For the next 12 weeks, I will leaf you with a clue or two about trees for you to mulch over.EnjoyMYSTERY TREE QUIZ #1Clue: Mr C. Olor
You've got me stumped Mrs. T ;) The only bit of the clue I can go with is C for Cedar lol

Learned something new today CinJ - never heard of liquid amber before - googled for info & just watched a time lapse vid on YouTube showing six months in the life of these trees in 516 shots - amazing!
No idea about the quiz tree unfortunately - I am hoping to be educated well in these 12 weeks!
