Without leaves the tree looks so cold and dry, but surprise of surprises, it keeps the grass below warm. So much so that the tiny blades never get any frost on them.</p> <p>In contrast, grass in parks without trees to protect them are usually in white frosty disguise in winters. Why is that so?</p> <p>You would never believe it but that leafless tree acts like a heater to the grass below. It would not be so surprising if we knew that everything on this earth gives off heat or light energy in the form of waves.</p>
