Plants

These are apple trees growing in an orchard.

The apples are the tree’s fruit, and when they are ready to eat they can be picked with a gentle twist.

Do you know what this is?  It’s a parsnip, but you can’t see much of it because parsnips grow under ground.

Guess what else likes to grow under ground?  Carrots of course!
