Trees

Box elder trees typically live for about 60-80 years, but some can live up to 100 years under optimal conditions. Their lifespan can be affected by factors such as environmental stress, diseases, and pests. Proper care and maintenance can help prolong the life of a box elder tree.

No. Spruce is an evergreen. ------ WRONG!!!!!!! Coniferous trees have small, waxy and usually narrow leaves (needles or flat scales). 'Coniferous' means that it is a cone-bearing tree. The most common conifers are spruces, pines and firs. Alternative names used for coniferous trees are evergreens, softwoods and (appropriately enough) conifers. However, the name evergreen is not really a good synonym. Laurel, acacia and eucalyptus are also evergreens, and although not deciduous, they are not cone-bearing trees (they also definitely have leaves rather than needles). Therefore spruce is not deciduous, it is coniferous

No, willow trees are not considered hardwood. They are classified as softwood due to their softer and less dense wood compared to hardwood trees like oak or maple. Willow wood is often used for making baskets and furniture due to its flexibility.

If a tree has two separate trunks, it likely started as two separate seedlings that grew close together. Over time, these seedlings merged their root systems to draw nutrients and water from the soil. The two trunks then grow independently but share the same root system.

"The Giving Tree" was written by Shel Silverstein. It is a children's book that tells the story of a tree's selfless love for a boy throughout his life.

The two transport systems in a tree are the xylem and phloem. The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while the phloem transports sugars produced through photosynthesis to other parts of the tree.

I live in south Florida and have two Mahogany trees and they have seed pods on them right now...September 24th, 2009.

To get the white part of a black and white top white again, you can try soaking it in a mixture of water and baking soda or using a laundry detergent with whitening properties. Additionally, you can try using a bleach alternative or a stain remover specifically designed for white clothes to help restore the brightness of the white fabric. Remember to always check the care label on the garment to ensure you're using the appropriate cleaning method.

Cocoa trees, which produce cocoa beans, are typically grown in tropical regions closer to the equator, such as in countries like Ghana, Ivory Coast, Indonesia, and Ecuador. They are not native to the US, but there are some small-scale cocoa tree plantations in Hawaii and southern Florida due to their warm climates.

These plants grow well in a bed around the trunk of a large black walnut tree in my garden in central Maryland (Zone 7): Black-eyed susans (rudbeckia) ; daylilies (hybrid & common), hostas (various cultivars), impatiens, tradescantia, carpet bugle (ajuga reptans) Also growing well nearby (under walnut tree canopy but about 4 feet from the trunk): two sedum cultivars, monkshood (aconitum carmichaelii), honeysuckle cultivar; pink turtleheads (chelone lyonii), climbing eunonymus, Virginia bluebells, None of these plants are adversely affected by the tree's supposed toxins.

Chewing on willow bark is commonly practiced to relieve pain and inflammation due to its active ingredient, salicin, which is similar to aspirin. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before using willow bark, as it can interact with certain medications and may not be suitable for everyone. Overconsumption can lead to side effects such as digestive issues or allergic reactions.

In the Philippines, it is called Macopa. Its fruit is pink and bell-like. Other names are Bellfruit and Rose Apple.

Fir trees typically thrive in temperate regions with cool, moist climates and well-drained soils. They are commonly found in mountainous areas, where they grow in coniferous forests alongside other tree species like spruce and pine. Fir trees are well adapted to survive harsh winter conditions and can also be found in lower elevations in certain regions.

There are two main types of moisture content in coal: inherent moisture, which is present within the coal particles themselves, and extraneous moisture, which is moisture that is on the surface of the coal particles. Inherent moisture is more difficult to remove and can impact the heating value of the coal, while extraneous moisture can be more easily removed through drying processes.

No, the rain tree does not produce fruit. Although its leaves and bark have many uses it does not produce and fruit.

Short answer: it depends on several factors, but 5-7 years is common, while it can often be even longer. Or possibly shorter. To begin with, there are several varieties of Walnut trees of both of the 2 basic different types, each with with a range of age to sexual maturity (to the age at which they will produce seeds). The 2 basic common types would be Black Walnuts (a native tree, commonly seen growing "wild" in the Southern states) and the so-called "English" walnuts, most often intentionally planted and hybridized from developed stock originating in a distant part of the world. (For those of you who are not familiar with the 2 types, The Black Walnut tree produces a nut with a very thick, hard to crack "shell", with a relatively small percentage of strongly flavored nutmeat when compared to a simiarly sized, but much thinner shelled, milder flavored "English" walnut that is the source of most of our domestic walnut crop in the USA.) Next, some Walnut trees are top grafted to rootstocks of a variety other than their own for different reasons (disease resistance, early maturity, suitability to different growing conditions, etc. If they are not grafted, they are called seedlings. Next, local growing conditions can and do significantly influence the sexual maturity of Walnut trees. Those grown in a Southern location of the USA (for example Georgia) will often mature 1 to several years ahead of the same variety and obtained from the same nursery, but grown in a more Northern location (Wisconsin). The same holds true for many fruit trees as well. Next, top grafted Walnut trees will often mature one to several years sooner than the exact same variety grown out as a seedling.

In various canyons of the white mountains I have come across a numerous amount of hickory trees. I've not yet identified the species but the trees put on an abundance of crop. I plan to harvest for the first time this fall. If there as good as they appear I will update this site.

A tree trunk bulge is commonly referred to as a burl. It is a rounded growth found on the trunk of a tree that is typically covered with bark and can be caused by a variety of factors such as stress, injury, or disease. Burl wood is highly valued for its unique and intricate grain patterns, making it popular for woodworking and decorative purposes.

Wood is a natural material that comes from trees, while lumber refers to processed and cut wood that is used for construction or other purposes. Lumber is typically more uniform in size and shape compared to raw wood.

Blossoms of the Kwanzan Cherry resemble carnations, as do those of the Peppermint Flowering Peach, Red Flowering Peach, and Pomegranates. There are likely others.

Orange trees grow in orchards specifically designated for citrus fruits. These orchards have conditions tailored for citrus tree growth, including suitable soil composition, climate, and sunlight exposure required to produce healthy orange trees.
