trees
Woody perennial plants
Trees are tall woody plants with a main trunk and branches forming a distinct crown.
The term extends to similar structures: a family tree shows lineage, a decision tree maps choices, a directory tree organizes files.
To tree an animal is to chase it up a tree: The dogs treed the raccoon.
Can't see the forest for the trees means missing the big picture while focused on details.
