Do trees give off Carbon Dioxide?
Trees do NOT release Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
In the Carbon/Oxygen cycle animated life (humans animals) exhale CO2 in to the atmosphere. This CO2 is then inhaled by vegetative life ; green plants, trees, grass etc., Under the process of photosynthesis, the green plant breaks down (decomposes) CO2 into Oxygen(O2) and Carbon (Biomass.
The oxygen (O2) is then exhaled by the plant back into the atmosphere, and the carbon is converted into biomass ( part of the plant's own mass). The oxygen is then inhaled by animated life, and released (exhaled) as CO2 back into the atmosphere. The cycle then repeats.
NB 1. Photosynthesis only proceeds when their is UV light from the Sun. So at night, the process stops. However, it is a much faster process than animated CO2 production because the atmosphere contains ~20% oxygen but only ~0.004% CO2.
NNB 2. CO2 is a heavy gas and falls to the ground, where all green plants live.
It is a natural and very efficient process, so order to limit CO2 in the atmosphere we should grow as much plant material as possible.

Squirels have knocked pecans off tree. Will pecans ripen off the tree?
Once fully ripened, the hust around the pecan will have dried and opened so that the pecan inside is exposed. At this time, wind, rain, or some other external force causes some of the pecans to fall to the ground. Most will remain attached to the husk until the tree is shaken or a long pole is used to dislodge the pecans. Throwing sticks or rocks (not your spouse) up into the tree works as well .

What is origin of beech tree name?
dick (um... no. But thanks, mystery person.)
The name Beech is in early English boc, bece, or beoce; in German Buche, and in Swedish bok, and signifies either a book or the tree, the two senses being supposed to be connected by the fact that the ancient Runic writings were engraved upon beechen boards. "The origin of the word," says Dr. Prior in his "Popular Names of British Plants," "is identical with that of the Sanskrit boko, letter, bokos, writings; and this correspondence of the Indian and our own language is interesting as evidence of two things, viz.: that the Brahmins had the art of writing before they detached themselves from the common stock of the Indo-European race in Upper Asia, and that we and other Germans have received alphabetic signs from the East by a northern route, and not by the Mediterranean." This last remark of the learned Doctor's refers, of course, to our old black-letter Gothic characters and not to our modern Roman alphabet. As to the name Fagus, it may be of Keltic origin, and in the time of Pliny the Britons, as well as the Gauls, may, as he describes, have mixed the ashes of Beech-wood with goats'-fat to make a red dye for their hair and moustaches; or this name may then have pertained to the Sweet Chestnut, to which tree Caesar may have referred when he wrote that in Britain there was every kind of timber as in Gaul, except "fagum" and the fir.

How do you grow a nice lawn under an oak tree?
As the trees grow taller, there is more of a root system and shade. Both of these make it difficult for grass to stay healthy and grow. If you put more soil over the area under the tree, you are apt to kill the tree, since it depends on those surface roots.
That's not completely true. Oaks do not have surface roots like other trees, so it is possible to add a few inches of top soil without harming the tree. Using shade seed and lots of lime to counteract the natural acidity of the oak will improve your lawns success.
