If Tom could be a tree or plant, what would he be and why?

An orange tree because to Tom, it’s the sort of tree that would gather people together, to share in its sweet, fibrous and pleasant fruit. The orange tree lives for a very long time and is said to symbolise stability, strength, generosity and wisdom, just to name a few meanings. The orange fruit is incredibly versatile – you can create a cool and refreshing drink by juicing it, infuse its fragrance and flavour into sweet and savoury food, create cleaning products or soaps from it and it contains many health benefits.
