The family members become older and more tired after time spent without freedom; the trees over the years are older after many the seasons make their leaves turn. When the woman arrives home, she sees the trees: “We had left in the spring, when the magnolia trees were still in bloom, but now it was fall and the leaves on the trees were beginning to turn…” (Otsuka 106).

Antonia explains, “`There wasn't a tree here when we first came. We planted every one, and used to carry water for them, too—after we'd been working in the fields all day.

At this section of the book, the mom is comparing her daughter to the tree. The quote is the mother’s response to Jeanette’s desire to take care of the tree and help it grow straight. Jeanette is relaying the idea that some parents do everything to help their kids grown into strong, perfect ‘trees’.

She may not provide society’s idea of a perfect life for her child, but she is allowing her daughter to face adversity.
Both the trees are contextual symbols of her journey. The pine tree stands “half a mile from home, at the farther edge of the woods, where the land was highest,” and is “the last of its generation” (Jewett).
