It also provide a way for trees to reach out into their environment, allowing them to absorb sunlight and nutrients from the soil, and are come in many shapes and sizes, depending on the species of tree they belong to. Some branches may be thin and delicate while others may be thick and sturdy. In addition to providing support for leaves they can also provide shelter for birds or other animals that make their home in them.
