Storyline
| Plot Summary |
It's spring, and the flowers, mushrooms, and trees do their calisthentics. Some trees play a tune, using vines for harp strings and a chorus of robins. A nasty looking hollow tree does battle with a much healthier-looking tree for the attentions of a female tree, and starts a fire in the process.

| Goofs | While playing the makeshift harp, the shorter "strings" should produce the higher-pitched tones, while the longer "strings" should produce the lower-pitched tones. However, when the tree plays, the opposite is true. See more » |
