tree

Origin & mnemonic

The tree radical originates as a pictograph depicting a tree trunk with branches and leaves, used since oracle-bone script. It represents the natural form of a tree with its main trunk and lateral branches.

Mnemonic: Remember the tree radical by picturing its four strokes as a vertical trunk with two branches sprouting from each side.
