<h2>Trees of Bangladesh</h2>

                             Palm Tree

                                We have all seen trees. They are found in all countries of the world. They are our great friends because they serve us in very many ways. In fact, our life –cycle largely depends on trees. The contribution of trees of civilization is quite inestimable.  

                       A tree has roughly five parts-namely, roots, the stem or trunk, branches, twigs and leaves. The roots are in the ground. They keep the tree fixed to the earth. The trunk is the thickest part of the tree. It rises from the ground. Branches grow on from the trunk and twigs come out from the branches. Leaves grow on the twigs. Fresh leaves are green and dry leaves are brown.

                       Trees are mute but living things. Like human beings, they also eat and drink. The leaves have pores in them, and with those they gather food from the air. They also suck up juice from the ground by its roots.

                    There are many kinds and varieties of trees. Some are large and some are small. Very small trees are called plants. Some trees have many branches. Some trees , such as the coconut trees, the date trees and the palm trees have no branches. They have big leaves at the top.   

                              Again, there are some trees which give us fruits and edible vegetables, oil, etc. Some of them are also used as fuel and for making furniture.
