Usage Note
árbol takes a written accent because it is stressed on the first syllable yet ends in l; the plural árboles moves the count to three syllables but keeps the accent. The genealogical árbol genealógico is a family tree.
Examples
"El árbol da mucha sombra."
Natural Translation
The tree gives a lot of shade.
