- Different kinds of trees keep or lose their leaves at different rates
- The rate at which trees keep or lose their leaves is a characteristic of trees
- So, the rate at which trees keep or lose their leaves is a characteristic of trees that is different for different kinds of trees

- The rate at which trees keep or lose their leaves is a characteristic of trees that is different for different kinds of trees
- A characteristic of something that is different for different kinds of that something is a distinct characteristic of that something
- Hence, that rate at which a kind of tree keeps or loses its leaves is a distinct characteristic of that kind of tree

- That rate at which a kind of tree keeps or loses its leaves is a distinct characteristic of that kind of tree
- The rate at which a tree loses its leaves is used to catergorize trees
- Therefore, distinct characteristics of trees are used to catergorize trees

- The kind of fruit produced by trees is a chracteristic of trees
- Different kinds of trees produce different types of fruit
- Therefore, the kind of fruit produced by trees is a characteristic of trees that is different for different kinds of trees

- The kind of fruit produced by trees is a characteristic of trees that is different for different kinds of trees
- A characteristic of something that is different for different kinds of that something is a distinct characteristic of that something
- Therefore, the type of fruit a kind of tree produces is a distinct characteristic of that kind of tree

- Distinct characteristics of trees are used to catergorize trees
- The type of fruit a kind of tree produces is a distinct characteristic of that kind of tree
- Hence, the type of fruit a tree produces can be used to catergorize trees

So, the type of fruit a tree produces can be used to catergorize trees
