Who knows what is the deepest essence of a maple tree and who says is a birch always a birch? If a maple tree is a birch and a birch is a maple tree. A pine is a spruce and a spruce is a pine or a juniper. A rowan is a bird cherry and a willow is an apple tree. A bay willow is an elm, a brittle willow, a crack willow or something totally different. But all of them are trees.
