How do you identify a tree nut?
I have a nut tree that I don't know the name of. The fruit is oblong shaped, green skinned and sticky to the touch. The inside shell resembles that of a walnut. The squirells don't bother with it. Can you tell me what it is? Thanks
I had a mimosa that made it's home behind my gas meter. At first I thought the lil tree was sooo cute. I saw that there could be a problem so I just cut it down to the ground. The next year when spring was upon the yard I came out for my first yard work and found that the trunk had grown twice the size and my meter was now moving away from the house. So I asked friends and took care of the lil home wrecker. Take out your saw and cut it down to a size where you can still get a good hold on it above the ground. Get out your drill and drill as many holes as you feel the undesired vegetation deserves. This also works as a wonderful stress reliever I found. Next go to the hardware store and get Root Rotter. There are many brands but I think they all pretty well do the same job. Follow the directions and fill in the holes you drilled into the pesky lil *&$#@ with the chemical! I have heard driving nails into it also may kill it. I used both. Leave it alone and kick it every time you cut the grass. When you see that it's good an rotted it will lift right up out of the ground. DO NOT try to replant anything in the area until the following grow season, it will die.

Is sycamore a soft or hard wood tree?
As with all other plants, growth occurs when there is sufficient moisture and the temperature is high enough above freezing. In the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, this is usually sometime between spring and fall. Depending on the region and climate, yearly growth usually ends around mid to late summer when temperatures become too high and soil moisture becomes scarce (Higher temperatures increase the rate at which photosynthesis and other processes occur, which increases the tree's water requirements).
