A Boxelder Tree Seed
Sycamore seeds have a "wing" and when they fall off the tree this makes them whirl round like a helicopter. This slows their rate of fall and the wind takes them away from their parent tree, dispersing them.
they have helicopter seeds so that when they fall off they travel a short distance away from the tree.
An acorn is a single seed of an oak tree. They drop to the ground or are carried by birds or squirrels and are buried where they then germinate.
Yes
Helicopter seed
Indeed new trees can be started from a helicopter in a number of ways. Helicopters can spread seeds of trees to sprout and grow. A helicopter can deliver seedling trees, or even bare root trees to be planted in remote areas. Helicopters can relocate any size tree. Even very large trees can be relocated without having to take down wires, trim other trees along streets to accommodate transport, stop traffic, etc. It would have to be a very special tree or difficult location to warrant such an effort. For example a helicopter could lift and place a larger tree in the garden top of a sky scraper, instead of waiting for a little tree to grow. Let's be careful here. Is it not possible the question is about sycamore seeds and some others that are like little helicopters when they descend to earth. The seed is treated like any other seed. Yes, of course. Seeds from various trees that appear to helicopter in the air can start a new tree. Maples, Ash, Sycamores and others produce seeds that catch air and whirl, giving a helicopter appearance. On a windy day it can be observed these helicopter like seeds are taken up and carried some distance by the wind. The whirling slows the seed's decent giving it a better chance for the wind to catch and carry it, to be dispersed far away from the tree. So the helicopter type seed, by design, is one strategy trees use to distribute and reproduce away from the parent tree. Another strategy trees use, is to produce lots and lots of seeds. So there is a probability some will survive, grow and mature, to produce more seed.
The double winged seeds of the Sycamore are designed to spin as they fall from the branches, like a helicopter. They may fall around the base of the parent tree, or be blown by strong winds further away.
When the seed breaks from the sycamore tree, its 'wing' makes it spin, but also makes its decent slower. This means that it can move further away from its parent tree when it falls, especially if there is a breeze or some wind.
yes, they are actually good for you, one time i had lung cancer and i lived off nothing but helicopter seeds, and within a week i was all better
To make tree, you add earth and seeds.
