Tips

usage
The 枞 reading appears only in the place name 枞阳, a county in Anhui. For the fir tree, read it 枞 instead.

Components

radical
木 mù
tree; wood
Left-side tree radical 木. The fir is a tall conifer, so the wood radical names the tree.
phonetic
从 cóng
to follow; (here) sound
Right side 从 supplies the sound cōng; the picture of one figure following another also faintly suits rows of firs standing in a line.
