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.
LOL, I'm also ready for the crazy house as the only thing about Zurich I can think is a tax haven ........Taxus Baccata I know is the Latin name for a the Yew ...... and Yew with a B for Baccata almost sounds like brew ROFL !! now send for the men in the white coats lol
post edit: Zurich could also be a Money Tree LOL hope tomorrow comes quickly as we'll all have been locked away somewhere very secure by the time the answer comes.
Is there room on the dance floor for me BW and Wendy ....... I'm off to dance the Mazurka 'cos this quiz is driving me Bazurka lol

I guess Switzerland was a large "Air Raid Shelter" being in a neutral zone during the World War so I'm back to a Yew (Taxus) and a cup of Swiss tea LOL
Yeah, twas giving you guys a little sneaky clue then.....
I did wonder why why smile was in quotes but didn't pick up that it was a clue.
Not sure it helps me much. The only thing I can come up with is Horn"beam" (Carpinus betulus) but for the life of me I can't see any connection with "air-raid shelter", "brew" or "Zurich".

Is that another mini clue?
A corn is painful, so am I back with Oak again? I'm going round in ever decreasing circles to finally become a Gnome of Zurich.
