Not Blue, but Green Is the Sky

My rings tell such a story

Of years past with gracious glory

Where I live is where I stay

From that spot I cannot stray

From my home man taketh me

So they can erect another home, you see

Many others bore into my sides

These things that crawl and things that glide

I weep with beauty or stand with grace

Every year I shed myself to nourish my place

What am I?
