tree, timber, establish

About this kanji

The kanji 樹 (ju) primarily means "tree" or "timber," and can also mean "establish." It is commonly used as a noun, especially in compounds. For instance, 樹木 (じゅもく, jumoku) refers to "trees" in a general sense, while 樹立 (じゅりつ, juritsu) means "establishment," often used in contexts like setting up organizations. Another interesting compound is 常緑樹 (じょうりょくじゅ, jourokuju), which means "evergreen tree." One helpful note is that while 樹 relates to trees, the verbs associated, like た.てる (to establish) and た.つ (to stand), indicate a broader context of growth and construction, showcasing its versatility in usage.
