Much psychological insight is attributed to how one draws a tree. Several analysts have put the following results together. The tree is divided into two parts, the trunk and the crown:
Trunk

B - Long and thin - Self-confidence, enthusiasm, and pride. Probable need for inner fulfillment.

C - Scars on trunk - Still consciously or unconsciously plagued by an unfortunate experience.

D - Bends to the right - positive attitude towards life, feels urge for activity, enterprising, always ready to help.

E- Bends to the left- Withdrawn, may be dreamer, self-engrossed.

F - Set on island or hill-like line - Feeling of isolation or loneliness, independent, reserved.

G - Set on slanted ground line - Anxious, has some difficulty in adjusting, mistrustful.

H - Realistic, flaring trunk - Active, social, good sense of humor.

I - Ground-line above bottom of trunk - longs for unobtainable, shrinks from reality, passive.

J - Trunk drawn with short separate lines - Impatient, emotional, excitable, impulsive.

K - Trunk flares into roots - Secure, observant, realistic, and not easily upset by events.
