Tree Care

yes Birches often form even-aged stands on light, well-drained, particularly acidic soils. They are regarded as pioneer species, rapidly colonising open ground especially in secondary successional sequences following a disturbance or fire. Birches are early tree species to establish in primary successions and can become a threat to heathland if the seedlings and saplings are not suppressed by grazing or periodic burning. Birches are generally lowland species, but some species such as Betula nana have a montane distribution In the UK birch trees are known as foresters weeds so yes they grow very well.

Fall and spring are the best times to prune hedges.

WOW such and in depth answer.

Pruning hedge plants should begin soon after they are transplanted to ensure they do not become leggy and that branches go all the way to the ground. A dense hedge must be developed slowly. Never try to make a hedge reach the desired height in a single season or it will be thin and open at the base. Plants such as privet or barberry need severe pruning during the first two years to make them bushy.

Subsequent pruning depends on the formality of the hedge. Formal hedges are often sheared in the spring after the main flush of growth has fully elongated. Since any new growth that occurs will appear out of place, numerous shearings are required through out the growing season. An informal hedge is usually pruned only one or two times per year. An significant pruning is done in late winter to early spring before new growth begins. A follow-up pruning is usually done in mid-summer. Informal hedges should be allowed to grow following the natural shape of the plant but conforming to the size and shape of the desired hedge. It is important that the top of the hedge be narrower than its base or the upper branches will shade out the lower branches.

Broad leaf

Most broadleaf evergreens require a limited amount of pruning on a very selective basis. Generally, pruning can be done whenever it is convenient, but the best time is early spring. Envision the natural plant shape and selectively cut back out-of-place branches. A compact plant results when branches are pruned back to a lateral within the plant canopy. This will also hide the stub and extend the time between prunings. Some plant, such as azalea and abelia, will produce long, vigorous shoots that extend well beyond the natural canopy and well above a lateral branch. These should be cut back severely within the canopy; try to leave a few leaves on the stem. When needed, moderate to heavy pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Evergreens that flower in early spring should not undergo moderate or severe pruning in late summer, fall, or winter, otherwise the number of flowers will be reduced. Wait until immediately after they finish flowering. Plants, such as pyracantha and hollies, produce flowers and berries on growth from the previous season. Light pruning over several years is recommended since severe pruning will reduce or eliminate berry production. Select only those branches that are most out-of-bounds for removal. Light pruning of new growth that hides pyracantha berries can be made in late spring. Be careful not to remove all of the new growth or berry production will be reduced or eliminated the following year.

acidic soil limits the availabilty of major nutrient Nitrogen. Acidic soil causes Nitrogen to held in solid form NH4+ so it is unavailable to the plant. Plants need Nitrogen in solution which is NO3-

Bonsai trees have miniature spikes on the trunk, which can peirce your skin. Also, the blue gnomes living in the hollow trunk can come out and defend the tree when its under seige.

well, back in the day of 1954 the ficus was a prized plant. the best way it can be pruned is on a steamy July day. you must first gaze at the ficus' beauty and figure out the best way you can love your tree in the very way it derserves to be loved. LOVE YOUR TREE and GROW MORE. :)

The best time to prune Florida ficuses is in the summer and when it rains. Avoid pruning during dry season or in the winter. Water help the ficus recover quickly from an effective prunning. It is also recommended that ficuses be pruned a lot before hurricane season. Prune all branches as you wish as ficuses are not affected by heavy pruning. Large ficuses have shallow roots and the canopy tends to overgrow in Florida making them vulnerable to hurricanes and strong winds. You can't go wrong doing substantial pruning to a ficus so long as it is watered properly, it receives sunlight, and is healthy. Pruning will extend its life as it will soon recover and flourish, especially when it is well watered and sunlit. So go ahead and show your love by pruning without fear. Your ficus will love you back!

rhizophora- mangrove

The tall shrub/small tree that flowers in early spring is the dogwood. Its scientific name is Cornus florida. The pink flowering variety has the scientific name of Cornus florida var. rubra.

It grows from the soil.

Trees increase in height by building new cells from the apical meristem at the top of the tree. The trunk expands in diameter by producing new cells around the circumference from the vascular cambium, which produces xylem and phloem to transport food and water, and the cork cambium, which produces bark. Branches and roots grow longer by producing new cells from the lateral meristems at the tip, similar to the apical meristem.

The meristems and cambium contain meristematic tissue, which is a collection of undifferentiated cells that dive and then differentiate to become specific cell types.

Generally, trimming a eucalypt is only done to young trees to shape them. In that case, you would trim to an outward facing side shoot. Lower branches can also be removed. In older trees, pruning should only be done if necessary, and branches removed flush with the trunk. Some species can be rejuvenated completely by coppicing, or cutting right down to a stump. Only species with a lignotuber will regrow, so check first.

Introducing natural enemies, pruning, removing, and spraying are ways to eliminate caterpillars in the process of destroying trees. Attention must be paid to what is triggering the larval presence: absent or insufficient numbers of natural enemies; damaged, dead, diseased, dying woody plant parts; or inappropriate environment because of improper aeration or moisture, inadequate soil nutrients, incorrect soil pH levels. Removing caterpillars with glove-encased hands and unhealthy tree parts with trimmers and spraying with insecticides or water usually will solve minor problems.

Plantae, or the plant kingdom.

Trim in in the spring before the leaves come out.

Remove the lower sets of leaves. Dip the cutting in a rooting compound. You can purchase this product at any garden center. Stick the cutting one inch into a good potting mix. Be sure to thoroughly wet the soil prior to planting.

Finally, cover the pot with a clear piece of lightweight plastic. Place the pot in indirect sunlight on an east window seal or under fluorescent lighting. After two weeks, check to see if the plant has rooted by slightly pulling on the stem. If you feel resistance, remove the plastic covering and be sure to keep the soil moist. The plant should then be treated as any other seedling.

Too much water!!! Back off on the watering.. Let the soil dry out a tad in between waterings.

jeez loise, that person is smaaa-art! == == Trees, like people, have certain average ages beyond which they seldom live. The Sequoia lives several thousand years, but an Aspen-grove begins to break up at about ninety, and the best yields are obtained at about twenty-five, as the growth after that is very slow. The Poplar, Balsam-Fir, and Gray Birch, depending on the character of the soil and how well they are cared for, begin to go between sixty and eighty; the Lodge-Pole Pine between one hundred and twenty and two hundred; the Beech and the Maple have been known to live three hundred and four hundred years; the Douglas Fir, Sugar-Pine, and Western Larch, five hundred; the Redwoods one thousand to one thousand five hundred; while, if you happen to live in California and have a likely young Sequoia growing on your place, you may not see it gathered to its fathers until after its five-thousandth birthday!

To reach the average age of its kith and kin a tree should have plenty of room for the spread of its branches and its roots. For this reason trees in the open country are considerably longer-lived than those in the tree cities, the forests. And the better they are fed -- i.e., the better the soil -- the faster they grow and the stronger and more valuable the wood.

While the traditional idea of a cypress tree grows in marshlands and swamps in the southeast US and tropical and sup-tropical climates many cypress trees, such as Italian Cypress, European Cypress, and Leyland Cypress are drought-free and they grow almost everywhere. They require little water, and can adapt to almost any soil type. They even resist smog and frost damage! They are well tolerant to many climates. They even grow in Arizona. Plant them in a pot, and keep an eye on them with only a little water about once per week. Re-pot or plant in the ground in the spring. Throw in fresh potting in well-drained acidic soil. When you fertilize use a well-balanced granular fertilizer. Then let it go. It should adapt well as long as it's protected for the first winter, and the frost isn't too heavy. After that, it should grow well on its own. You might need to put in a fertilizer stick every 6 months after that, and see that it has adequate water. Check with a landscaper or nursery for tips fitting your climate. - fast-growing-trees.com/ Cypress Tree;
