Euphorbias can be trees in some tropical countries! They are a very diverse group from small annual weeds, a fair number of species are grown in gardens + are reasonably sized plants, the familiar Xmas Poinsettia is a Euphorbia + there are some large shrubs such as E. mellifera which I have in my garden.
