Trees

Elephant's height can range anywhere from 5 ft. to 14 ft, however the females tend to be a little smaller.

There are many trees that flower red in spring. Common examples would depend on where you are. Here in Australia, there are many gum trees that blossom red from spring. Illawarra Flame Trees do the same, as do New Zealand Christmas trees & all sorts of Grevilleas, Callistemons etc. Exotic examples would include Crepe Myrtles, Coral trees, Royal Poincianas, flowering quinces, peaches & crabapples, Pomegranites I think, Pineapple Guavas ... the list goes on. I don't know if you are trying to identify a tree you have seen or just wondering, but more specifics are needed perhaps.

in places that have colder temperatures, such as in Canada, the northern USA, Russia, etc.

They are called coniferous trees.

Deciduous trees lose their leaves in autumn.

Coniferous trees KEEP their leaves in autumn.

The oldest bristlecone pine tree was in Wheeler Peak, New Mexico, but was cut down in 1964. It was 4,900 years old.

If tree roots are in your septic system, you really need to seek professional help. Rock salt will kill tree roots but they will still need to be removed.

it picks up a sword and and just runs with it

It depends on the size of the tree.

Since the leaves turn red in the fall it is not evergreen... the leaves are dying and that's why they turn red... Soon after the leaves turn red they will fall to the ground.

Bonsai pots can be purchased at local gardening stores and sometimes can even be found at dollar stores. Depending on the quality and size of pots, it may be best to also perform a search on the internet. There are many online retailers that sell these pots and on which they can be purchased online.

IN my cool country, Sweden, we have many kinds of trees: fir, spruce, yew and junipers, all with needles. Also oak, birch, elm, lime, rowan, horse chestnut, aspen, alder. I may have missed a few.

it dies

use a herbicide called 2,4-D

Firs do always shed about 50% of their leaves iin autumn, to cope with threatening winter conditions (high winds, heavy snow loading). I see our Thujas do it. It's how that lovely bouncy carpet arrives in pine forests' floors.

rainforests

The banana "tree" is not a tree, it is a herbaceous plant. They grow in tropical regions such as the Caribbean, Thailand etc.

Growing the the crevices of rocks is done when making rock gardens. The crevices help shelter the plants and retain water.

However eventually the plant roots will weather the rocks.

Moss, similar to mold, is part of the earth's recycling system. It breaks down and digests organic materials.

New York has more Apple and Christmas trees then it needs, but you can also find:

Cherry.

I'm not sure, but it's a result of a reproduction between male and female pollen. The form during the spring, develop over the summer and drop in the fall/winter.

Evergreen trees, such as pine trees and spruces, do not lose their leaves.

Depending on where you live the best time is in the fall when trees are starting to go dormant.

The previous answer is wrong. Weeping cherries bloom profusely unless you prune it in the fall. You should prune it (and all spring blooming trees) in the spring after the blooming is finished.

Black oak

Downward sloping branches, usually on evergreens, help the throw off snow as heavy snow can break of branches.
