I knew about red Easter eggs but didn't tie that in with the trees.
The Greek Tradition of Red Eggs In Greek, the red eggs are called kokkina avga (κόκκινα αυγά, pronounced KOH-kee-nah ahv-GHAH). They are perhaps the brightest symbol of the Easter season in Greece. They represent the blood of Christ (the red color) and rebirth (the egg).
In iconography red is also the color traditionally used for Mary's outer garment with blue for the inner garment.
