Oak Trees

there could be more that a hundread organisms in a single part of the oak three you never know what yor're gonna find

Yes, squirrels do chew on oak tree branches. They often gnaw on the bark and wood to maintain their teeth, which continuously grow. Additionally, they may strip leaves and acorns from oak trees for food. This behavior can sometimes lead to damage to the tree, especially if the chewing is extensive.

Oak trees, like other trees, have several key organs that contribute to their growth and function. These include leaves, which are responsible for photosynthesis; roots, which anchor the tree and absorb water and nutrients; and the trunk, which supports the tree and transports nutrients and water between the roots and leaves through the xylem and phloem. Additionally, flowers and acorns serve reproductive functions.

Yes. Every tree has photosynthesis

Water oak can be suitable for firewood, but it is not the best choice compared to other hardwoods. It burns relatively quickly and produces a moderate amount of heat, but it may create more smoke and sparks than denser hardwoods like oak or hickory. For the best results, it should be well-seasoned before use. Overall, while it can be used, there are better options for firewood if heat output and cleanliness are priorities.

When acorns are big and plentiful, it is called a mast year for acorns. The reason for this is not fully understood. However, it is believed to be causes by certain favorable weather conditions.

Oak trees are neither predators nor prey; they are producers in the ecosystem. As plants, they produce their own food through photosynthesis and provide habitat and resources for various animals and insects. While they can be affected by herbivores that feed on their leaves or acorns, they play a vital role in supporting the food web rather than fitting into the predator-prey dynamic.

Oak trees exhibit energy use primarily through photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. This glucose serves as energy for growth, development, and reproduction. Additionally, oak trees store energy in the form of carbohydrates in their roots and wood, which they can draw upon during periods of dormancy or stress. Through these processes, oak trees play a crucial role in energy dynamics within their ecosystems.

Oak trees primarily feed on water and nutrients absorbed from the soil through their roots. They require essential minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as trace elements like calcium and magnesium, to grow and thrive. Through photosynthesis, oak leaves also convert sunlight into energy, using carbon dioxide from the air. This combination of soil nutrients and sunlight enables oak trees to develop robust structures and sustain their growth.

An Oak Tree is NOT a famous painting. It is simply a glass of water 3/4 full which the artist Michael Craig Martin claims to have turned into an oak tree. According to him, it is not a glass of water any more, but it really is an oak tree. Of course he has achieved this without altering any of the original physical form of the glass of water. However, as one normally looks for evidence of physical change in terms of altered form, no such proof exists. Although en-route to Australia, he was stopped at customs, resulting in the artist having to admit it really was just a glass of water! A brilliant work.

It was estimated that 2000 trees were used to build HMS Victory

The most efficient and cost effective means of control is prevention. To prevent the introduction of oak wilt, avoid tree wounds during the infection period. Don't prune during April, May or June!! This rule of thumb also holds true for construction activities in and around oak trees. If at all possible, don't work around oak trees during those months. If work cannot be avoided, carry a can of pruning paint and immediate paint each wound created, including those on exposed roots. Even 15 minutes can mean the difference between prevention and disease. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/treecare/forest_health/oakwilt/whatcanido.html

Does live oak tree and/or pin oak shed leaves in summer shed in the summer.

My tree was doing so well it is approximatelt 4 yrs old. (live oak or pin oak) 2 weeks ago the tree started shedding and it is almost bear

Yes. Oak trees can be grafted the same way fruit trees are grafted.

it help its seed production

A mighty Oak tree.

The live oak needs at least 50 gallons of water a day and needs full sun.

Oak galls are caused by chemicals injected by the larva of certain kinds of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae. The adult female wasp lays single eggs in developing leaf buds. The wasp larvae feed on the gall tissue resulting from their secretions.

Oak galls are sometimes called oak apples or oak balls.

An oak tree and a turtle are hardly comparable. The maximum lifetime of a turtle would be around 120-150 years, which yes, is a VERY long time compared to humans. But oak trees, if undisturbed can live up to 600 years! That's almost 5 times as much as the maximum turtle life time.
