Tree with Flowers
Young trees are planted in an orchard, the soil around them is planted with grass to stop weeds from growing. In spring, buds open into leaves which are the food factories of the tree. They use sunlight energy, water, air and soil to make food which is used by the tree as it grows. As the tree grows larger, buds open into flowers each May. Flowers have coloured petals and scent to attract insects like bees. Insects carry pollen to other flowers so that seeds can form. All summer the leaves carry on making food so that the tree grows larger and buds form ready for the next spring.
