The first was a shot of a tree with windblown branches.

The main body must be deep underground, and it sends those arms up to the surface to feed, like shoots of a tree.

She named him Hlumelo because it means "the shoot of a tree" in the Xhosa language.

The woman asks Frigg if all things have sworn not to hurt Baldr, to which Frigg notes one exception; "there grows a shoot of a tree to the west of Val-hall."
