Arbor Week Countdown: 1 ...

One day until Arbor Day (featuring Florida trees): This mess of growth is a MANGROVE, which can refer to an individual shrub/tree or to a forest of the plants.

Waves and the changing tides pose no problem, despite constantly subjecting the plants to varying levels of immersion and temperature.
