Trees
Above ground, trees and shrubs perform important environmental services by providing food and shelter to people and wildlife, oxygenating the air, and beautifying the landscape. Below ground, their roots open up critical passageways for the movement of air, moisture, and soil food web members.

What is the highest point on the fir tree?

Yes, an oak tree is an autotroph because it can produce its own food through photosynthesis using energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water. Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own organic compounds from inorganic sources.
First of all a tree cannot grow to its full size in a pot say analogous to the size a goldfish reaches in a tank or the limited nutrients available to it as compared to in a orchard. Say it reaches a maximum size in the pot my understanding is the growth is proportional to the nutrients in the soil plus water plus sunlight available to it and inversely proportional to factors like pests and diseases.According to me there will be almost the same mass of soil, say 1-2 % less considering the nutrients/minerals absorbed from it.

Hardwood trees are normally very fine "grained", this means if they are cut through in section the annual rings are very close to each other. This is indicative of trees that are slow growing.
Softwood trees (such as pine), again when cut in section have a wider pattern of ring dispersion, indicating faster, more active growth.
Hardwoods are trees like teak, mahogany, oak (although Oak can be a softwood depending on where in the world the tree is grown) and beech.

Why is the tree red spruce called red when in fact they are not red at all?
I think it has something to do with its sapp. or its a pineapple plant .
= Picea rubens Pinaceae =
The Red Spruce is best identified by its large broad crown, with right-angled branches, curving upward at the ends. The bark and twigs tend to be lighter than Black Spruce.
The wood is light, soft, narrow-ringed and faintly tinged with red. It is the most common species of eastern spruce lumber. Because of its resonance, it is especially adapted to sounding boards in musical instruments.
Shade Tolerance: Very high
Moisture Preference: High
Soil: Well-drained sandy loam
pH Level: Acid to neutral
Salt Tolerance: Moderate
Pollution Tolerance: Moderate
Hardiness Zone: 4b
Similar to the other spruces, it provides cover, food, and nesting sites for birds; bark, seeds, and needles for snowshoe hares, porcupines, and small mammals; and food for white-tail deer.
Red Spruce is the preferred tree for collecting and making spruce gum. Try this woodland novelty by collecting the sap, boiling it until completely dissolved, and pouring it on to a greased cookie sheet. Red Spruce is the provincial tree of Nova Scotia,Canada.
Red spruce attains maximum development in the higher parts of the southern Appalachian Mountains where the atmosphere is more humid and the rainfall heavier during the growing season than in other parts of its range.
You can try checking online stores that specialize in novelty products or Christmas decorations, as well as electronic supply stores. If you have the specific model number, it may help narrow down your search. Alternatively, contacting the manufacturer directly for a replacement part may also be an option.
Can cut Christmas trees produce new sprouts?
no. the sprout from a tree comes from the trees roots, which have already been chopped off in this case. however, if there are still any healthy, small branches, you can cut them with a sharp pair of pruners at an angle and stick them in a jar or vase of water. keep the vase full of water and fresh and pretty soon, roots will emerge! after a couple months the roots will be long enough for you to plant the new shoots in a safe place outside. make sure they always have plenty of water! If the shoots you trimmed dont make roots after you put them in a vase, they were probably already too old.
This is in addition to the answer above. Actually our Christmas tree is doing exactly that. I have never seen this before. We got it about a month ago (it's Jan 3rd today). It's been watered well & sits by 2 large windows during the day & has bright lamps inside near it at night. It's still drinking a lot of water - 2 wine bottles of water/day (the bottles are easy to get under & pour into tree stand without spilling). A week ago I first noticed what looked like tiny pine cones appearing all of the tree, mostly in clusters of 3 or more at the end of branches. Now these are all opening up with fresh light green new sprouts!! I'm going to cut several branches before we put the tree on the curb & put in water. I almost hate to even put it on the curb tho!! Oh and it's a Balsam. I'm pretty amazed!!

Stop walnut tree from blooming?
To prevent a walnut tree from blooming, you can prune it during the dormant season by removing any developing flower buds. You can also apply a growth regulator, such as paclobutrazol, to inhibit flowering. It's important to note that disrupting the blooming process can affect the tree's overall health and ability to produce walnuts.
What is a hardwood tree that produces a small nut?
The hickory tree produces small nuts that are edible.
A palm tree [Arecaceae or Palmaceae family] isn't deciduous, because it doesn't drop most of its foliage in less than a year. Neither is it coniferous, because it doesn't have cones. Instead, it's an evergreen, because it takes more than a year to replace old foliage with new.
Conifers actually may be seen as a subcategory of evergreens. But not all conifers are evergreen. A prime example is the bald cypress [Taxodium distichum]. It bears cones. But it loses most of its foliage in less than a year.
So the 'either-or' question in regard to the frequency of foliage loss actually is 'evergreen' or 'deciduous', not 'coniferous' or 'deciduous'.
Which tree has the most leaves?
It is difficult to determine which tree has the most leaves as it can vary based on the species and size of the tree. However, some tree species known for having a high leaf count include the broadleaf trees such as the American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and the balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera).
When does the Chinese Elm flower in Australia?

Which tree could be a roost for a suicidal tomtit?
Tom-Tit in the Mikado
On a tree by a river, a little tom-tit
Sang "Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!"
And I said to him, "Dicky-bird, why do you sit
Singing 'Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow'?"
"Is it weakness of intellect, birdie?" I cried,
"Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?"
With a shake of his poor little head, he replied,
"Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!"
He slapped at his chest, as he sat on that bough,
Singing "Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!"
And a cold perspiration bespangled his brow,
Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!
He sobbed and he sighed, and a gurgle he gave,
Then he plunged himself into the billowy wave,
And an echo arose from the suicide's grave--
"Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!"
Now I feel just as sure as I'm sure that my name
Isn't Willow, tit-willow, tit-willow,
That 'twas blighted affection that made him exclaim
"Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!"
And if you remain callous and obdurate, I
Shall perish as he did, and you will know why,
Though I probably shall not exclaim as I die,
"Oh, willow, tit-willow, tit-willow!" Roost for a suicidal tomtit
