Its squat shape and fan shaped leaves make it looks different. I believe that being different means being unique. When something is unique it stands out from everything usual in the crowd.

its Importance My all-time favorite book ever since I was a kid would be The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. This is Silverstein’s most famous work; it is about a little boy and a tree grows old together.

Both city and country life have their appeals but‚ until I can master being at two places at once‚ only one can ever truly be a reality. Both of them have their appeals and their issues that depend strongly on the person looking to resettle. One persons big open yard for the kids to play in is anothers acre of pain in the ass yard work. While one persons busy city life is anothers anxiety inducing heart attack. Shows like “Little House on the Prarie” have filled our heads with romanticised ideas
