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

The direct services include the apples that your mom uses to make pies (a tangible benefit), while the indirect services involve the shade provided for you to read under, contributing to your comfort and enjoyment.
