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.

Yes, but trees take a long time to grow, and not all the groups that cut them down even plant new ones, let alone make sure they aren't cutting down more than they plant. So, is it renewable, yes, slowly over a long time. Is it sustainable at the current rates, perhaps not.
What is English common name for Terminalia cambodiana?
The English common name for Terminalia cambodiana is Cambodian almond. Although it is called almond, it is completely different species from almond in temperate and cold countries. The French common name for Terminalia cambodianais Amandier du Cambodge. And the Russian common name for Terminalia cambodiana is Terminalya kambodzhiskaya (Ð¢ÐµÑ€Ð¼Ð¸Ð½Ð°Ð»Ð¸Ñ ÐºÐ°Ð¼Ð±Ð¾Ð´Ð¶Ð¸Ð¹ÑкаÑ).

The Cambodian almond occurs in the low-lying areas of countries in Southeast Asia. In Cambodia the Cambodian almond occurs primarily in the floodplain around Tonle Sap Lake. This kind of tree also occurs in southern part of Vietnam, especially in Mekong Delta areas. I have not known yet the Vietnamese name for Terminalia cambodiana, and as well the Chinese name.
The Cambodian almond can reach the height of 7 m. and can grow well in the water, even it is submerged. The plant usually grows along with other species of tree and shrub. The plant is very important for wildlife habitat, especially for freshwater fish and water birds. There is no information on the use of Cambodian almond, except the use as firewood by the locals.
How do you kill the ficus tree?
Applications of glyphosate, controlled burns, and extreme pruning will control an undesired ficus tree.
Specifically, no herbaceous or woody plant can survive the three-pronged attack of fire, glyphosate, and super-trimming. The initial response to severe pruning may appear to contradict this deep truth since trimming initially encourages growth. But the plant in question will not survive the repeated stress of chemical, fiery, and shearing assaults and will perish within 1 - 2 years.
No, edible peas grow of small climbing plants. There are many trees which are members of the pea family but the seeds which they produce are not usually edible, in fact some, such as Laburnum, are extremely poisonous.
Pine needles have a shape which makes them less vulnerable to the cold than the flat leaves of the maple tree or other trees of that type. That is their ecological niche, to keep their leaves and continue to perform photosynthesis all year long.
Pine trees do shed their needles regularly, though - just walk past a pine tree and check out the ground beneath.

From which country does the traditional method of 'bonsai'?
Originally, it is said that bonsai came from China 2000 years ago but some argue it was the same time in Japan. I would go with China.
The direct translation of "Bonsai" The art of growing a tree in a pot. Bonsai utilizes different training techniques to achieve desired styles. Typically bonsai trees are small compared to the tree it would represent in the wild, they usually rang from 6″-24″. The art of Bonsai dates back 2000 yrs to the Ming dynasty. Origins probably date back even further as the Japanese word Bonsai comes from the Chinese word "P'en Tsai" which sounds similar to bonsai and has basically the same definition. To restrict our interpretation of the word to a potted tree does not do it justice. This is an ancient art that dates back thousands of yeas. One could study bonsai his whole life ad develop his style and art and it would be ever evolving and there would always be new facets to improve upon. The real essence of Bonsai is found in the Japaneses word's for art, there are three types of art in the Japanese language.

Can a mimosa tree survive winter?
Of course, it depends on the severity of your winter. I live in north-central Utah and there are several trees surrounding my area. I had nursery trees survive the winter but to fall victim to my accidental excessive watering. I have started several from seeds collected locally, but the transition to being left out all winter after I permanently planted them has not been successful. The two-year trees die back to the roots each winter. This year I gave up and purchased an older tree with a trunk ranging from 1-1/2 inches to 3/4 inch at the top. The nursery told me to wrap the trunks to minimize the damage from the freeze-thaw cycles we commonly see here throughout the winter. I'm trying determine now just how that should be done. That's what led me to your question. Our winters are rather severe. Winter lows will be down to 0 deg F. More commonly they range between 15-30 deg and daytime highs from 25-45. Hope this helps. Good luck. These are covetted trees and real hummingbird magnets.
