What 🌳 means
It's a tree, not a botany test. Use this tree symbol for woods, a park, or neighbourhood greenery without naming a species. When someone sends it, the words and emoji beside it show whether they're admiring the view or planning time outdoors.
Its official name, deciduous tree, means a tree that sheds its leaves for part of each year. In cooler climates that happens in autumn, as with most oaks, maples and beeches; in tropical monsoon forests, leaves often drop in the dry season instead.
Neutral and relaxed, with a leafy outdoors feel.
