榕樹在台灣是非常常見的高大喬木，成長快速且生性強健，各地常可見數十年甚至百年以上被列為保護的老榕樹，榕樹的枝葉茂盛且蔽蔭面積非常大，所以樹下常成為人們休閒、聊天、聚會、乘涼的場所，是很多人舊時的回憶，流行歌曲「榕樹下」就是以榕樹下的回憶來舒發情感 - from Peter’s Blog

give birds a place they can call home and a higher perch to look over their surroundings, fruits for food, insects and other amenities naturally come with the deal as well.

Trees

An elegant addition to add value to people’s properties 

Other benefits include:

Shade they provide and breezes they bring or just a beautiful sight to behold

*Sierra redwood trees are the largest trees in the world. Many sierra redwoods are between 250 and 300 feet tall, the tallest being about 325 feet high. While their height is impressive, the real wonder of a sierra redwood lies in its bulk……(from
