Trees

Trees appear green because of chlorophyll, a pigment in their leaves that helps them with photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, particularly from the blue and red parts of the spectrum, and reflects back the green light, giving leaves their green color.

You can buy commercial quantities of Araucaria Monkey Puzzle Tree seeds from specialized seed suppliers, forestry companies, or online marketplaces that cater to tree nurseries and commercial plant growers. Be sure to check if the supplier has the necessary permits for exporting seeds in your region.

If it's a really big one, figure 233 years for every acre of land that it covers.

Smaller ones will require a core drilling and a botonist to tell. I have 5 of them in my home that are 18 months old from seed, and they vary between 3" and 7" high.

Yes, fresh dates can be eaten directly from a date tree. They are sweet, moist, and have a unique taste. However, they are often harvested when still firm and then left to ripen off the tree to develop their full flavor and sweetness.

Yes, there are thornless varieties of lime trees. These cultivars are selectively bred to produce fruit without thorns, making them easier to harvest and handle. Examples include the Tahiti lime and the Persian lime.

If you can, remove the tree from the stand and cut 1" off the trunk, exposing new wood to the water source. Then, return the tree to the water source and let it rehydrate. You were watering it, right? Also, if it is a plastic tree, it will always be dry. Use some furnature polish sprayed onto a cotton rag to wipe down the tree and remove dust. This will give it a fresh 'lively' look.

According to a fictitious legend, Jesus Christ was impaled on a dogwood tree. Because of his compassion for the dogwood and so that it would no longer be used as an instrument of impalement, Jesus decreed that it should become a smaller tree and that its petals should bear the marks of the nailprints in his hands. This, says tradition, resulted in the rust-colored touches around the notches in the bracts. So prominent has this legend become that it is the only thing many people think of when they see the dogwood today. But, it should be noted that this is only fictitious tradition. The Bible says nothing of the sort. The Bible does not identify the type of tree used in his execution. Maybe because the type of tree is of little or no importance. What is important is what his sacrificial death means. His death is a ransom paid for our sinful condition brought on by the willful sin of our first human father, Adam. A search of several diverse translations and paraphrases of the Bible reveal no references to dogwood.

The web comes from an insect which goes by the common name of Bark Lice. It is actually a beneficial insect and will cause no harm whatsoever to the tree. You are best served to leave it in place and let the beneficial insects eliminate any non-beneficial insects. It will eventually go away with time and weather.

depends on the weather and variety of plum and apricot. mostly they need a rather cold winter requiring 300-600 cold hours to wake up properly, a mature tree will need about 10-12 liters of water per day (you can give it 30 liters every 3 days) and a sunny spring. you will get better flavour when there is a big temp difference between night and day during fruit growth in spring.

I do not think so!

check your temperature zone where i live its a zone 5 so when i bought my fruit trees i looked for a variety that will survive in zone 5. most nursery's have that info

To inhibit the fluff from male poplar trees, you can consider planting female poplar trees instead, as they do not produce the fluffy seeds. Alternatively, you can also prune the male trees to remove the fluff-producing parts before they bloom. Another option is to consult a local arborist for advice on managing the fluff production in male poplar trees.

To get rid of a Hackberry tree growing out of a hole in a Live Oak tree, carefully cut the Hackberry tree at ground level, ensuring to remove all roots. Monitor for regrowth and repeat if necessary. Be cautious to avoid damaging the Live Oak tree during this process.

As a master gardener, I have asked myself this same question, as you may or may not know if you remove two thirds of a trees life that tree is going to die, the sad part is I have many everygreens that I have in the same condition, and have not put forth the effort in saving, it is on the top of my list to do. First thing you need to ask yourself does this tree pose any threat to any building or people, how tall is your tree it takes time to save a tree, if your tree is less than 20 feet tall, open the ground around the trunk, you want to open the ground as wide as the tree is wide,put some mulch around and below the ball of the tree, once you have done this the next step is to feed the tree, evergreen miracid mix a 5 gallon bucket and feed it every 2 weeks you can just spill it out or you can put a small valve in the bottom of the bucket and let it drain out. your tree should after about 2 months begin looking a little better that will be 4 feedings, If the tree is larger than 20 feet you should use 2 five gallon buckets. This is a very slow process.

To answer this we need to also take a look at where the Christmas tree came from. The Christmas tree came from the Germanic regions. Origionally it was part of a Pagan festival called the "12 Rauhnachte," which means 12 harsh nights. During the winter, the Germanic people observed that everything seemingly died, and turned brown, with the exception of only a few evergreens. They superstitiously blamed evil spirits for causing all the plants to die. The evergreens that stayed alive became a symbol of life and immortality to them, so they included the tree into the festival.

This Pagan ritual occurred during the end of December, through the beginning of January. The tree was brought indoors on Dec 24, and removed on Jan 6. They believed that the life-saving power of the evergreen could protect them and their homes from the evil spirits. Later the tree began to be decorated with fruit and other colorful items.

Somewhere around the 1300's or maybe 1400's, the tree was excepted by the Catholic church as an addition to the Christmas holiday. This was fitting, since the Christmas holiday itself was adopted from another Pagan ritual known as the Saturnalia.

The Saturnalia was a festival to the sun god Mithras, also known as Ra. This festival was winter festival, which occurred at the end of December and celebrated fertility and immortality. Like Christmas, the Saturnalia also included the exchanging of gifts, decorating of homes, and general merry-making.

It depends on the concentration and the amount. If you have enough muratic acid and if it's strong enough, yes. Otherwise, the probablility of killing the tree is inversly proportional to the strength of your desire to kill the tree.

In North America, you can find white tree paint at most garden centers or agricultural supply stores. It is commonly sold as "tree trunk paint" or "whitewash" and is used for the same purpose as in the Mediterranean - to protect trees from insects and sun damage. Alternatively, you can make your own whitewash by mixing equal parts white latex paint and water.

When the Christmas tree tradition came into being a few hundred years ago in the Alsace region, the decorations consisted of nuts, apples, cookies and wooden toys. No doubt, the first birds to decorate a tree were also wooden. I just can't imagine a Christmas tree without my grandmother's very fragile birds from the l900's. Besides, what's a tree without a bird in it?

You might want to consider a palm tree. Depending on the area surrounding the pool. They have a small root ball so you won't have to worry about the roots invading your pool "wall". There are many varieties which have little or no debris. And they are great specimens remember that a lot of them are SLOW growers, but do indeed get VERY tall, but take years to get there!

Palm trees (buy advanced ones if you can't wait for them to grow), banana trees, umbrella trees, NOT hibiscus (flowers drop and turn mushy really fast), NOT pine (one night I might have to go next door and cut down the neighbours one- cursed pine needles), NOT eucalyptus (leaves fall all year round, so do branches, flowers, gumnuts and almost every other part of the tree), NOT box trees (same as eucalyptus but add the bark as well). NOT deciduous trees at all (everything falls off them). Look for large leafed, tropical, non-fruiting (NOT citrus, although the fruit floating around the pool looks interesting for a short while), evergreen, non-flowering or at least very short flowering. Succulents can look attractive around the pool, do not require much attention and are different to the tropical look.

I can tell you from experience a tree not to plant around a pool. That would be a pine tree. I have spent a numerous amount of time vacuuming pine needles out of the pool.

Silk Oaks are also not the tree to plant around a pool. Palms are the best and create a wonderful tropical retreat!

All deciduous or leaf bearing trees will lose their foliage in winter to some extent depending greatly on your geographical area, the colder it gets the more they lose. And for some deciduous and all coniferous or pine trees there is a constant loss and regrowth process, It depends on what you are willing to put up with. There are many colorful ornamental trees that in a temperate climate will not lose all their leaves such as the ornamental plum, and citrus trees, or maybe the magnolia which can add color and shade while not being all that dirty. But for ease of maintenance but not so much for shade the palm is the favorite.

Depending on where you live is what type of tree you should get period. Sometimes some trees do not do well in certain climates but if you do have a pool, I could assume that you live some where tropical. I would definitely recommend different types of palm trees, such as, Sago palm, a Travelers palm, some three headed Christmas palms are a great addition to any pool area. I have a few King Palms and couple coconut palms and they make a statement.

Sycamores are not a good choice. The leaves are so large that even commercial vacuums have a hard time getting the leaves out. You're looking at months of unswimable pool if the leaves get in. Trust me, I know.

Sassafras tree leaves are unique because they can have three different shapes on the same tree: mitten-shaped, two-lobed, and three-lobed. They also have a pleasant fragrance when crushed and can be used to make sassafras tea. Additionally, the leaves have historically been used in traditional medicine for their perceived health benefits.

The oldest tree in Ohio is estimated to be located in Monroe County, within a protected area known as Dysart Woods. This ancient tree is believed to be a centuries-old Eastern white pine, a species that can live for over 400 years. It stands as a testament to the region's rich ecological history.

In Charlottesville, Virginia, the peak time for fall foliage and for leaves to change color is typically in late October to early November. However, this can vary depending on weather conditions each year. It's best to keep an eye on local forecasts and foliage reports for the most accurate timing.

There are a variety of types of trees that absorb a lot of water. One of the most popular trees is the weeping willow.
