Tree

A tree is a slow chemical factory. Through photosynthesis it binds carbon from air into sugars, then into cellulose and lignin. Water climbs against gravity by cohesion and pressure differences inside xylem.

Rings are a local archive of seasons. Forest, leaf, root, Timber, and Bloom on the map feed Tree. A leaf Vein is still this plumbing, not a type of its own.
