Tropical
A tropical tree is a type of plant that grows in regions near the equator, where the climate is warm and humid. Tropical trees have many adaptations to cope with the high rainfall, intense sunlight, and diverse wildlife that inhabit these areas. Some examples of tropical trees are the bird of paradise, the dragon tree, the fishtail palm, and the European olive. Tropical trees often produce edible fruits, such as bananas, mangoes, coconuts, and olives, that are enjoyed by people around the world. Tropical trees also provide shade, oxygen, timber, and habitat for many animals and plants in the tropical rainforests.
