The phrase that best describes the ecosystem services that the tree provides for you and your mom is indirect services and direct services.

This is because the apples that your mom uses for pies represent direct services (a tangible product), while the shade you enjoy when reading represents an indirect service (a benefit that enhances your well-being without being a physical product).
