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
Mangrove
First clue begins with Mr hence Man
Mangroves grow in water.
Don't know if there are any british species
Ray
a good laugh is better than a tonic
Hasn't Robbo already posted the right answer 'Witch Hazel' - they used to send witches for an early bath in the dark ages!?

That would certainly fit with the second clue but how does it relate to the first clue Mr C olor. Witch Hazel (Hamamelis) is a completely different species to Hazel (Corylus) and is usually regarded as a shrub.
MrsT must be splitting her sides laughing watching us floundering around.
