The trees above listed are "exogenous," which means that 

 they grow from the inside out. There are a few trees which 

 are "endogenous," or in ward -growing. These are the palm, 

 yucca and bamboo, all of which grow in southern countries, 

 principally in the tropical region. They have little value in 

 this country except for novelty furniture and, when shredded 

 into cane, for chair seats, etc.
