I really feel a need to have 'fruit tree' added in characteristics. I mean, we have a Mango tree and the best we can do is
Shade Tree
Attracts Bees
Attracts Birds
whereas therer\ really is only one main reason to grow a Mango tree and that is for its fruit.....

please Dave?

How about 'timber' for trees grow specifically for their wood?

We don't have such an option and I'm happy to add one under "Uses" if nobody disagrees.

I think that's a good addition, since it's certainly not true for all trees! Good idea, Hetty. Thumbs up
