Dear mrs Binnie,
ReplyDeleteI know you don't need a big seed to grow a big plant.I know because one SINGLE sycamore seed can plant a absolutely M A S S I V E tree and teeny weeny sunflower seed can make a pretty big sunflower

Dear Buddy,
DeleteExactly! Thanks for the explanation.
The tree in the picture is a giant sequoia tree, also known as a redwood, found in the USA. It is the largest tree on Earth, yet its seeds are tiny.There's more on how they grow on this website;

Do you know what the largest seed in the world is?
Hope you're having a great day!

ReplyDeleteThe smaller seeds the bigger the tree grows.
We don't need a big seed to grow a big plant because a smaller seed can make a plant to grow bigger.
