  Ornamental plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ornamental plants are typically grown in the flower garden, or as indoor plants.

 Tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trees are important components of the natural landscape and significant elements in landscaping and agriculture, supplying orchard crops (such as apples).
The earliest trees were tree ferns and horsetails, which grew in vast forests in the Carboniferous Period; tree ferns still survive, but the only surviving horsetails are not of tree form.
For example, most palm trees are not branched, the saguaro cactus of North America has no functional leaves, tree ferns do not produce bark, etc. Based on their general shape and size, all of these are nonetheless generally regarded as trees.
