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.

Are liquid amber trees toxic to livestock?
Yes, the liquid amber trees are toxic to the livestock. They are toxic to the livestock like the horse. Their seeds and leaves also contain the toxin.
Why is the grass in your lawn turning yellow?
Grass changes from green to yellow when it dies because of lack of sunshine or water
the moisture in the grass will evaporate and that dries it up and as the grass dies it changes coulors
What is another name for Acacia tree?
Class Magnoliopsida, Order Fabales, Family Fabaceae, Genus Acacia
How do you prune a Lavatera plant?
Perennial lavateras are notoriously short-lived, and pruning them properly can extend their lives.
Immediately after flowering cut back all the flowering stems to prevent the plant setting seed. Setting seed tends to weaken the plant and may reduce its lifespan. This also reduces wind-rock in the winter. Water it with a balanced fertiliser.
In early spring cut the branches back to a foot from the ground and remove any dead branches, scatter a granular fertiliser around it, rake it in and give it a thorough watering. These fertilisers last a whole season. Scatter some slug pellets around it, as slugs and snails love the new shoots.
When you prune the plant take some cuttings of non-flowering stems 3-4 inches long - they root very easily.
If you want to have especially large flowers, you can cut back the flowering stems a little in early June, but don't overdo it.
Which type of forest contain many trees that shed their leaves during the fall and winter?
Deciduous.
Is white pine needles simple or compound?
The white pine has needles generally in bundles of 5. This is not a compound leaf.
Larch is a waterproof wood so therefore it makes good outdoor/garden furniture it is also good for decking and fencing so all garden accessories there :)
How deciduous trees adapted to live in its environment?
They are specially adapted to save themselves from the cold weather where this kind of weather could kill people and animals prolonged in this weather. Tamarack has a safe behavior as extracellular freezing.
How tall is the biggest redwood tree?
The tallest reliably measured tree (using laser rangefinders combined with tape drop measurements made by tree climbers) is a Coast Redwood in Redwood National Park, California. This tree measures 379.1 feet tall.
Can you prune during winter months?
Yes and no. You prune shrubs in January if that's the time of their regular pruning schedule. In that case, winter time pruning tends to be done in January.
But pruning most definitely may be done if the rule of the letter 'd' applies. That means that shrubs can be pruned if they're damaged, dangerous or diseased.
I don't know and i bet this will not answer your question right? :(
A deciduous tree sheds all of its leaves, or in some cases needles, when cold weather prevents the tree from making food.And animals eat the leaves or nedles
What is the life span of an Ash tree?
North American Green/Red Ash can live for 300+ years and White Ash 600+ years. Black Ash & Blue Ash are shorter lived types with 100-150 year possible lifespans. Both Green & White can live well past their average age, especially wild examples found growing within the Ash tree's "Bottomland" home range where individuals of this "Keystone" species produce expansive root systems which can be three or more times the age of tree's above ground portion, after original organism has been continually re-sprouted from it's "Coppice" stump shoots. So an individual old growth Green Ash can be 250 above ground, and have a 1000 year old root system below. American Ash is the progenitor of our planet's Fraxinus tree species presently threatened with modern day extinction since the glutinous borers kill young trees off before reaching seeding age of 10, halting any further germination of continued generations. Unlike young Elm which seeds from age 10 to 25 before inevitably killed off by Dutch Elm disease "Fungus", while EAB does not "Disease" or "Infect" Ash. Scientists have observed .01% surviving wild Green Ash containing naturally evolved defenses EAB cannot utilize to achieve it's larval instars with, while the American Fringe tree also related to Olive (Oleaceae) family is now being used by the borers as they kill off their remaining "Untreated" food source of "Living" Ash trees. National Park service is protecting an iconic White Ash from EAB that Thomas Jefferson planted at Monticello, and a 200 year old Ash young George Washington did not cut down with his families Cherry tree. Danger from borers "Infestation" populations has already passed in parts of Michigan where EAB had first arrived in the early 1990's. By: Scottie Ash tree seed
What tree shreds its leaves in autumn?
Generally speaking trees can be grouped into three categories:
Deciduous (those which loose their leaves annualy. These are mostly the hardwoods: Oak, Beech, Hornbeam, Walnut etc.)
Semi-Evergreen (Those which retain their leaves for a large portion of the winter)
Evergreen (Those which keep their leaves for life. these are mostly the softwoods: Pine, Sequoia, Cypress, Cedar etc.)
There are many variations to this theme including some hardwood trees which are evergreen such as the Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) and some softwoods which are deciduous such as the Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). Semi-Evergreen trees are a bit of a misnoma as they are in fact deciduous but given the right conditions will retain their leaves for most or all of the year.
What trees have needle like leaves that produce food all year long?
"I retain my needles all year long. I am a coniferous" - Biology
Do cashews grow on a bush a tree or other?
Cashews grow on a tree, You would think they would grow in the ground because they are a nut but no, they grow on a tree.
How do fruit trees adapt to their environment?
Figs and figwasps share a commonality in that they can both adapt to extreme temperature changes and extreme changes in the amount of water present. Being able to survive under such a range of conditions is unusual.
Is there such thing as a money tree?
There is, in rare occasions, money tree's in the south off Canada found only, like i said, in rare occasions in hidden forest not yet disrupted by man and created by the wild life in the aria called Christa's Garden in Meganisa Town only found by not looking for it.
no there is no such thing as money tree.
When do you prune a lilac tree?
I usually start with cutting out all of the 'suckers' in the bush. These are the very straight branches growing straight up. Then I trim to the height that I want to bush at. Then I will thin out a bit, trying to take out some of the very oldest branches to allow the new growth to fill in. Another criteria to look at is anywhere two fairly large branches are crossing each other, particularly if they are touching each other. The main thing to remember is that lilac flowers on two to three year old wood so don't prune the tree too hard unless you are prepared to do without flowers for a couple of years!
Pines and Junipers are examples of what?
Thomas Whittons sexual prowess.
Thomas get real they, are all conifers who's cones are not particularly large.
