What has branches but no leaves, no trunk and no fruit? This familiar riddle plays on a word that has more than one meaning. Don’t picture a tree just yet!
Think Beyond the Garden
A branch does not always belong to a plant. Some businesses and organizations have multiple locations, and each location can have a familiar name.
The Answer
A bank. A bank can have branches in different towns and neighborhoods, but it has no leaves, trunk or fruit. Did that answer come to mind?
