The answer
Mark (Mark 4:30-32). There the seed becomes "the greatest of all shrubs," "so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade." Matthew's is also "the greatest of shrubs," but it then "becomes a tree." In Matthew and Luke the birds nest "in its branches" (Matthew 13:32; Luke 13:19).
Why it’s interesting
Matthew and Luke also agree that "someone took and sowed" the seed, in a field in Matthew and in the garden in Luke. Mark says only that it is sown upon the ground.
