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 #2Clue: An air-raid shelter brew.
Clue: Taking frequent liberties in Zurich.
Stumped us again Mrs. T ...... I've heard of a Swiss Pine but not sure it is in UK ! and then there's brew, air raid shelter ...... oh dear, back to the drawing board.

Don't have a scoobie, but a few ideas to add to the mix - from the original clue, if it is partly an anagram, ash and terrain are there. Mountain Ash? Can't see how it fits with other aspects of the clues.

There aren't that many British trees so you'd think we could get some connection with the clues but I have no idea.
I think it may be time for the evil laugh, MrsT.

Yeah, thanks for that TJ, think mine will always sound like a nervous giggle....
going with last clue
there is rich in zurich and thinking rich tea biscuit
don't know how it helps though
Ray
a good laugh is better than a tonic
ClaireM could have something with mountain ash
we used to say mash a pot of tea M-ASH
Then planes drop bombs hence air raid shelter.
shelters were well used in London
So London plane tree.
If I remember Mrs T's favourite brew is London pride. this is the one I'm going for.
Going to have a cuppa with a rich tea lol
Oh BW, you crack me up, you're such a laugh!!
I'm going to say Alder.......because I can....lol!

LOL BW, I'm beginning to get worried about you. This quiz is driving me mad too. I can't see any connection with anything anywhere. I fact I can't see the trees for the wood (in my head).
