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 name of trees that shed their leaves in winter?
threes that lose their leaves in the winter are called deciduous trees. They lose their leaves to conserve moisture and reduce the amount of energy they must consume in order to stay alive. The leaves of some deciduous trees turn bright colors before they drop to the ground, while others simply fade or turn brown. Environmental factors and the genome of the tree affect how quickly the leaves fall.

How much sun does bonsai tree need?
The answer to this question depends upon what plant has been used for the bonsai, so there is no one correct answer. Many different plants may be used for bonsai. Generally however, it is safe to say avoid direct sunlight. Bright, indirect lighting is sufficient. The bonsai plant is not in a natural environment nor in best growing conditions. Due to the very confined pot which stunts the plant, bonsai need more attention than other houseplants, with careful attention to both watering and lighting. The stunted environment in itself causes some stress to the plant . Direct light may actually cause the plant more stress and may cause the plant to dry quickly and excessively. As far as watering, try this: submerge pot (only if with drainage holes) in lukewarm water up to the top of the container. Allow to soak submerged until bubbling stops (just a few minutes). Remove the pot and drain then redisplay. Watering in this way allows the plant to soak up only what it needs, and excess is drained away. Repeat when soil a 1/2" below the surface feels dry. You'll actually water less often this way. All good bonsai should be in pots with drainage holes. If you have one without drainage holes, consider re-potting. Until then, water frequently and lightly. Over watering kills more bonsai plants than does anything else.
Painting the woody stems of plants may interfere with?
Painting the woody stems interferes with plant processes. Paint is applied as protection from any traveling bacteria, fungus, pest or virus whether or not there actually is an injury. The paint indeed keeps such pests out. But the price is interference with plant processes such as self-healing and respiration. Specifically in terms of respiration, the seal keeps things from getting into the woody, and from getting out. Specifically in terms of injury, woodies have four walls of defense. The seal of the paint prevents the progression through any or all of the stages, and interferes with the formation of a beneficial, natural, protective callous. Additionally, over time, the seal ends up cracking. For the woody and the seal expand and contract at different rates and times in response to weather extremes. Ultimately, the seal breaks and leaves the woody open to attack from environmental stresses and stressors. And the situation is compounded by the stresses that the seal is responsible during the time that it's intact.
What are some advantages and disadvantages of softwoods?

How do you tell the difference between red oak acorns and white oak acorns?
Red Oak acorns are bitter and White Oak acorns are not

White oaks produce mast annually. Red Oaks produce mast every other year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The most reliable distinction is in the inner surface of the acorn shell.
White oaks are glabrous(hairless) and red oaks are tomentose(hairy).
2. White oak acorns require one season to mature, whereas red oak acorn require two seasons.
3. White oak acorn initiate germination in autumn, whereas red oak acorn usually do not germinate until next spring.
4. Red oak acorn has a higher tannin content rather than white oak acorn.
but there are intermediate group between white oak and red oak.
Hardwood. All deciduous (leaf bearing) trees are hardwoods.

How big does the matai tree grow?

If you kill one tree how much oxygen are you killing?
All trees with green leaves (ie. that have chlorophyl in them) give out oxygen in the day during photosynthesis. Note: They don't actually make the oxygen. It already exists. Two atoms of oxygen are bonded with a carbon atom to make the carbon dioxide molecule which animals breathe out. Trees and plants breathe it in, keep the carbon for themselves, and breathe out the oxygen.
You don't "trim back" a Physocarpus (NineBark); you remove no more than 1/3 of the stems (the longest ones) at the base of the plant, at the crown of the root ball (ground level). This reduces the shrub's overal size, reduces density, allows light to reach the interior of the plant and air to circulate, preserves the natural shape of the plant, promotes health and vigor, and does not dimish flowering of the remaining stems. It should actually increase bloom production, assuming the remaing stems have not been previously "trimmed back" !
