What is the best time of the year to transplant beech trees?
If you're going to transplant any tree or shrub, it should be done in two steps. You need to start in the spring.
First, you need to root prune.
A tree that has been growing in a place for a while has most certainly become established in that spot. If you were to just suddenly dig it up and move it, it would lose a lot of its root system. What we have to do is encourage the developement of more roots closer to the trunk of the tree so that when we dig it up later, it will have a more developed root system that can be moved with it to the new location.
All you have to do is take a shovel a dig a deep trench around the perimeter of the tree early in the spring. Be sure to feed the tree with something high in phospherous. Bonemeal would be great. This will encourage roots to develope closer to the trunk of the tree.
In the fall is the best time to transplant.
Dig up your tree. You're going to lose a lot of roots. But if you root pruned in the spring, your chances of successful transplanting are better.
Make sure you prepare the new site well. Pre-dig the new hole. Make sure the new hole is plenty wide enough to accomadate the tree, but so wide that the tree will fall over in it. supplement the soil with fresh compost. Make sure you plant it at the same soil level that it was at before. This is very important! Not higher, not lower! Especially not lower! And DON'T pile up mulch around the base of the trunk of the tree. This is where the tree aerates. If it's all covered up with mulch, the tree can't properly 'breath'. This can lead to disease, pests, problems. A newly transplanted tree doesn't need this!
I have been successful 99% of the time digging up trees and transplanting them the same day. It is very important to develop root growth at the above answer states. To do this, add a cup or more of 0-20-0 or 0-40-0, high phospate with no nitrogen or potash. This helps root growth only and the tree is not forced to grow above the ground. It will become well established with a fine root system after a year. You can then add a fertilizer 10-10-10 or near those numbers as the years go by.

How do bonsai leaves stay small?
Bonsai leaves become smaller, and stay small, as a result of regular pruning, and pinching off of leaves. plus the fact, that they are containerized.
The pruning and pinching, causes the tree to develop ramification of the branches, i.e more twigs, more buds, therefore more leaves.
So where you once had e.g one primary branch four secondary branches, and 8 tertiary branches with lets say 20 leaves.
You now have, one primary branch 8 secondary branches, sixteen tertiary branches, and something like 60 leaves.
Because you now have all these leaves, they have no need to grow as big, because the surface area that receives sunlight i.e creates photosynthesis, balances out with what were once larger, but far fewer leaves.
I hope my answer is sufficient, and helps to solve the query of small leaves on bonsai..

Can you burn sumac in a fireplace?
No, because you can get the allergic reaction from the plant in your lungs. That would suck. Even if the doors were closed, you would still have the smoke going elsewhere. I got my first case of poison ivy in a campfire, and it got everywhere that wasn't covered with clothing. It was awful. Don't do it!!

How do you get the smell out of a dresser made of plantation mahogany?
I'm not sure why you would want to. You could use a sachet, or moth balls to cover the smell. Air it out for, a long time, I suppose. Most people love the smell of real wood. That's why there are cedar chests and closets. The smell is wonderful.

Another Answer
I don't know if this applies to all plants, but you can clone a plant by snipping a section off a thinner branch where an offshoot is forming a leaf. Just left and right of the offshoot, cut the branch at a slight angle. You should have a small section (about an inch) of the original branch and the offshoot that's producing a leaf. Plant the offshoot in nutritious soil as if the section of the original branch is the root. Keep it fed and watered. The section of the original branch will become a root to the offshoot. This is how plants are cloned. You now have a duplicate of the original plant.
