Excellent question with a lot of "depends on" answers: What kind of tree? Some season quicker than others. Oak takes a long time (up to to 2 years in the best of conditions) while maple is much faster. Has the tree been lying on its side on the ground the whole time. if so, it may be rotten as the tree will lay in the wet ground and not season at all, but rot away. Has the tree laid in the forest in the shade or out in a field in the sun? Was it cut up at all, say into sections. The best answer is that, if you want dry wood, you need to cut it up and split it and season it for almost the same amount of time as if it were cut down yesterday.
Describe the leaves of trees that in the taiga?
The taiga, or boreal forest, is given to high seasonality with a long season during which temperatures are below the freezing point of water. As such, trees must be conifers, with very limited leaves (needles) adapted to the cold, or be deciduous trees that are well adapted to the stress involved in losing its leaves every year. For instance, I live in the central region of Alaska. We have deciduous trees and conifers. The farther north you go though, the fewer deciduous trees there are.

Timber is another name for wood, whether still standing in the form of trees or felled and turned into boards for construction. Some people may also refer to timber as lumber, or differentiate between timber as unprocessed wood and lumber as cut wood packaged for commercial sale. The timber industry around the world is huge, providing wood for a variety of products from paper to particleboard.
People have been referring to timber since at least the seventh century, although lumber is a relatively recent word, dating to the settlement of America in the 1600s. Early citizens in the Massachusetts Bay Colony starts to refer to sawed planks as lumber, setting them apart from raw timber which still had to be processed before it could be used. Incidentally, the "timbers" in nautical slang are an important structural component of a ship's frame.

Is a human and a plant an example of mutualism?
In some cases. Modern corn bears no resemblance to its wild ancestor but has been cultivated by humans for kernel size and environmental hardiness. Corn now lacks the ability to effectively disperse its seeds on its own. If there were no humans to cultivate corn, it would quickly die out.
