Tree Care

Yes, tree sap is a liquid. It is a sticky and viscous substance that flows through the xylem of a tree, carrying nutrients and water from the roots to the leaves.

When trees rot, the carbon stored in the wood is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the process of decomposition. This carbon dioxide can then be taken up by other trees or plants through photosynthesis, completing the carbon cycle.

There is no exact number of trees planted on Earth Day as it varies every year and across different initiatives and organizations. Millions of trees are typically planted on Earth Day, with efforts often coordinated by various governments, communities, and environmental organizations around the world.

It is a sign that the money tree roots absorbed more water than needed. During the night, excess pressure of water in the roots may cause the tree to force extra liquid or xylem sap to exude through the leaves. Money trees really need a good drainage system and plenty of soil drying time between waterings.

The whole idea of growing bonsai is to grow them as slowly as possible, however to get you started off a little quicker I would suggest planting them in the ground to begin.

Tree's will generally sprout and grow more quickly in the ground and, with the correct care (fertilising and soil composition), can be transplanted to a bonsai pot with little worry.

Please note that if you trim the tree roots when you transplant it, you will need to take off approximately the same length of the tree itself. Further to this, please ensure you have a mixture of soil that can drain well (dont cover the holes with soil because the soil will keep tipping out, instead just place a seashell curved side up over the holes).

On a final note, keep your tree under heavy guard. I suggest hiring armed guards in the initial stages of growth as all mannger of creatures, especially cats, will not think twice about digging at, clawing at, eating, pooping on your little tree sprout.

Once transplanted and established, just make sure you prune at the correct times and let it grow at the correct times.

Yes, Ficus benjamina and Ficus lyrata belong to the same genus Ficus, but they are different species within the genus. They are not closely related in terms of their specific characteristics and growth habits.

The pure sap from a lac tree that is painted onto wooden objects is called shellac. It is a natural resin that is used as a wood finish and protective coating for various items.

The tree and grasshopper that share the same name are both called "locust." This can sometimes cause confusion, as the word "locust" refers to both a type of tree in the pea family and a type of grasshopper known for their swarming behavior.

It is not recommended to use chlorine tablets to kill a tree as it can harm the environment and surrounding vegetation. Proper tree removal should be carried out by a professional arborist or tree service to ensure it is done safely and effectively.

Some plants have adaptations to help prevent their leaves from turning brown in winter, such as protective structures on the leaf surface or the ability to withstand cold temperatures. This could be a natural characteristic of the plant, or it may be due to the specific climate and conditions in which it is growing.

To prune a tree fern, you can start by removing any dead or damaged fronds at the base of the plant. Use a sharp pair of pruning shears to make clean cuts. Avoid cutting off too many fronds at once to maintain the health of the tree fern.

Mistletoe on juniper trees can be controlled by physically cutting it out of the tree or using a herbicide specifically designed to target mistletoe. Make sure to follow label instructions for any herbicide application, and consider consulting with a professional if the infestation is severe. Regularly monitoring and maintaining tree health can also help prevent mistletoe from establishing itself.

Tree roots contribute to biological weathering by breaking apart rocks as they grow and expand. As the roots penetrate into cracks and crevices in the rock, they exert pressure which can further break down the rock into smaller pieces. This process helps to weaken the rock and accelerate its weathering over time.

A gum tree usually refers to eucalyptus trees that are native to Australia. These trees are known for their aromatic leaves and smooth bark. In Australian culture, the gum tree is a symbol of resilience and strength.

They actually consume and use so much water. There have been times when farmers or ranchers will remove a tree in a field in a little low spot and after a while the area becomes really wet. The tree actually had been using the natural water that collected in the area and after the tree was removed the water continued to come into the area. Some trees use more water than others and they're actually put in places to help keep some of the water accumulation down.

The oxygen released by plants during photosynthesis originates from water molecules. Plants take in water through their roots and split the water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen atoms during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

A heavy snow when the flowers are blooming can split the tree and kill it. Prune it after the flowers have faded. You don't have to do that every year. Don't water too much. They don't like to stand in water. They like sandy soil and sunshine.

Glyphosate is a commonly used herbicide that effectively kills unwanted big trees by blocking the production of essential proteins needed for growth. It is important to follow safety guidelines when using herbicides to protect the environment and surrounding vegetation.

It is not recommended to use copper sulphate to kill a tree, as it can have negative effects on the environment and surrounding plants. Instead, it is advisable to consult with a professional arborist to discuss safe and effective ways to remove a tree if necessary.

An oak tree is not classified as a short-day plant or a long-day plant. Instead, oak trees are considered day-neutral plants because their growth is not significantly influenced by day length. They primarily rely on environmental cues like temperature and moisture for growth and development.

The three domains in the modern tree of life are Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Bacteria domain includes organisms like Escherichia coli and Streptococcus. The Archaea domain includes organisms like Sulfolobus and Methanogens. The Eukarya domain includes organisms like animals, plants, fungi, and protists.

Yes. Though oyster Mushrooms can be found on a range of substrates, they are birch specialists that seem to thrive on the various populus species. Thus, a good place to start your hunt if looking for them in the wild would be a downed birch tree.

Kapok trees can live up to 200 years or more in their natural habitat. However, in cultivation or in more urban environments, their lifespan may be shorter due to various factors such as disease, climate conditions, and human impact.

Depending on the animal or thing you are referring to, deformation can mean many different things, such as an alteration of shape, as by pressure or stress, or an alteration of form for the worse. Overall it means the act or process of deforming.

Bonsai trees/plants are a G-R-E-A-T example of purposeful deformation. Find pictures of the Bristlecone Pine Trees: they are "twisted out of shape" by the forces of nature. They are truly gnarly.
