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 part of the leaf releases water?
The stomata, which are small pores typically found on the underside of the leaf, release water vapor through a process called transpiration. This helps to regulate the water content and maintain the plant's turgidity.
What are the components of a vascular system in plants?
The components of a vascular system in plants are xylem, which transports water and minerals from roots to leaves, and phloem, which transports sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant. These two tissues work together to provide support, transport nutrients, and facilitate growth in plants.

Can a maple tree grow back from a stump when cut?
Absolutely!
Our maple (about 30 yrs old) was removed recently because it was the roots were pushing up the shed, but it was otherwise healthy...
Unfortunately, we left the stump and it's continuing to put its energy into expanding it's root structure and lots of shoots...
If you don't kill the stump, or remove/rot it out, you'll definitely get re-growth.
(At least in my area were the climate is very favorable -- Southern British Columbia)
How do you get a lilac tree to flower?

How many species of gum trees are there?
There are over 700 different species of Eucalyptus trees. Most of these are found only in Australia. However, there are some found in New Guinea and Indonesia.
Why do leaves fall off of the tree before winter?
When the average temperature drops to a certain point and the average amount of sunshine drops to a certain point a hormone is released that starts the process of shutting down for dormancy. The tree drops its leaves to stop evaporation.
How do you kill weeds around trees without hurting the tree?
To kill weeds around trees without harming the tree, you can manually pull out the weeds by hand or use a hoe to remove them. Be careful not to disturb the tree roots. You can also apply a layer of mulch around the tree to suppress weed growth. Avoid using chemical herbicides near the tree as they can harm the tree's roots.
How do you make your pine nut trees produce nuts?
Pine nut trees require well-drained soil, plenty of sunlight, and proper spacing for adequate airflow. Ensure the trees receive sufficient water, especially during dry periods, and consider using a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and nut production. Pruning the trees judiciously can also help in achieving better nut yields.
If you cut off all the leaves on an evergreen tree will they grow back?
Yes, evergreen trees have the ability to regrow new leaves after being pruned or cut back. However, excessive pruning can stress the tree and affect its overall health and vitality. It's important to follow proper pruning techniques to ensure the tree can recover successfully.
In what climate do palm trees grow best in?

Transplanting bottle Brush Tree?
To transplant a bottle brush tree, choose a new location with well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole at least twice as wide as the root ball and gently remove the tree from its current location, taking care not to disturb the roots. Replant the tree in the new hole, water thoroughly, and keep it well-watered during the establishment period.
What is the scientific name for a mimosa tree?
The Mimosa Tree is Albizia julibrissin (Persian silk tree, pink silk tree).
Topping a tree is one of the worst practices that can be done on a tree. Topping removes large limbs off of a tree at a spot where no natural junction occurs. The result is multiple weakly attached stems shoot off from the cut, and decay columns may travel down the limbs. As the weakly attached shoots grow into branches, they may easily fall of and injure people and property below.
Natural target pruning is the proper way to prune a tree. A branch is removed at a natural junction on a tree. Consult a local arborist for help on the proper way to prune a tree.

Yes, manzanita bushes [Arctostaphylos spp] put a toxin in the ground. The toxin's presence doesn't keep bushes and trees from being planted in the area. But depending upon the variety, it may keep them from doing well. This adverse effect on neighboring plants is called 'allelopathy'.
Specifically, manzanita contains coumarins. The environmental presence of coumarins readily is identifiable by the toxin's sweet, freshly mown hay smell. It also may be witnessed by its disruption and slowing of growth in other vegetation in general, and in grasses and herbs in particular.
In fact, coumarins are natural weed killers and pesticides. But their effects may be weakened by effective aeration, drainage, microbial activity, soil type, and temperature. For example, their impact is stronger in poorly draining clayey soils and weaker in fast draining, sandy ground.
Manzanita isn't the only plant to contain coumarins. Other examples are woodruff [Galium odoratum], vanilla grass [Anthoxanthum odoratum], tonka bean [Dipteryx odorata], sweet grass [Hierochloeodorata], and mullein [Verbascum spp].
How does the banksia adapt to its environment?
The banksia is an amazing plant that is well adapted to suit its native environment of Australia.
Firstly, the nature of its flower structure attracts many more birds, animals and insects that can help to ensure pollination to other plants. The flowers are long and cylindrical, rather than single cuplike structures.
Also, banksias are able to survive bushfires better than other plants. Some banksias have thick bark that protects them from fire, whilst others have lignotubers, which are underground swellings on their roots, from which they are able to sprout again after fire. These lignotubers are protected, being underground, and rarely damaged by bushfires.
Banksia flowers rely on fire to stimulate the release of their seeds. The seeds are protected from bushfires by a resinous coating, and the action of the fire passing triggers their release as the fire melts the resin.
