Trees: Several species with different names

Knowing the popular and scientific names of some tree species

We know many species of trees by the common (popular) name, ie the names that people gave and that went from generation to generation through popular culture. But botanists (researchers who study plant species) and other scientists who study trees have come up with scientific names. Many of these names have meanings according to the characteristics of the tree or fruit it produces. See below some examples.
