this is a ...... ??????

This special plant is the ?????? Tree, more often seen as a clipped bush than a tree, but capable of growing into one in time.

h rəʊn

???? is a horse coat color pattern characterized by an even mixture of colored and white hairs on the body, while the head and "points" - lower legs, mane, and tail - are mostly solid-colored. Horses with???? coats have white hairs evenly intermingled throughout any other color. The head, legs, mane, and tail have fewer scattered white hairs or none at all. The ???? pattern is dominantly inherited, and is found in many horse breeds. While the specific mutation responsible for ???? has not been exactly identified, a DNA test can determine zygosity for ???? in several breeds. True ???? is always present at birth, though it may be hard to see until after the foal coat sheds out. The coat may lighten or darken from winter to summer, but unlike the gray coat color, which also begins with intermixed white and colored hairs, ???? do not become progressively lighter in color as they age. The silvering effect of mixed white and colored hairs can create coats that look bluish or pinkish.
