Trees

dutch elm disease

The rubrum means maple.

The Matt Berens tree has pink blossoms

The joke "What did the beaver say to the tree?" has the answer "It's been nice gnawing you!"

Well technically they are called conifers, an example of a conifer is a fir tree.

There are 3,800 species of trees in the Philippines, the most famous of which is the narra tree. The narra is the national tree. Its wood is one of the world's hardest woods. It is also a source of medicine and dye.

Other trees native to the Philippines are the almon, apitong, guijo, kamagong, red and white lauan, tindalo, yakal and the Philippine mahogany or molave tree.

Because they are living things and all living things grow. Trees must grow taller to better access sunlight, especially if there are other trees or anything else nearby that would cast shade on them. As the tree grows taller, it also has to grow wider to prevent being blown over by the wind. Below ground, the roots grow longer to increase the amount of water and nutrients the tree can absorb.

The heaviest and the hardest wood in the world is Snakewood (Piratinera guianensis).

There are also many other candidats to be the hardest wood: ironwood, huacapu and some types of eucalypts.

You can find a list of the hardest and the softest woods at the link in the Related Links. You will find a list that has been compiled according to the JANKA HARDNESS TEST.

Many birds have different types of beak structures. There's thick, triangle-like beaks which finches have to crack shells. Insect-catching birds have thin, medium-sized beaks to pick at bugs on the ground. Some birds who have these kinds of beaks are swifts, swallows, phoebes, and kingbirds.

Yes. The vascular system of a tree consists mostly of phloem and xylem. These vessels transport water, nutrients, and organic solutes up and down the tree, between its roots and leaves. On a cellular level, under a microscope, you can observe all sorts busy activities of a live cell -- photosynthesis (chlorophyll), ATP synthesis (electron transport chains of mitochondria), etc. A tree, or any given plant, must stay alive to produce its young. There are many defense systems that a plant can use to fight against fungi, bugs, and herbivores -- poison, thorns, etc. Pollen, seeds, and fruits grow on trees and other plants, and you can witness those as signs of liveliness in various seasons. There are experiments you can do to prove it to yourself. If you get the permission from the owner of a garden, you can ask to break off a tiny little branch of a tree or something growing their garden. The easiest way is probably to buy a celery stem from a grocery store. Make a small glass of red solution with red food color and water. Cut the bottom of the stem so the cells exposed are fresh (i.e. alive). Stick that end of the stem into the red solution and leave the upper stem and the leaves in the air. If you split open the celery stem, you will see red fluid crawling up in the fibers of the celery. After some time, you will see the leaves of the celery start to turn red. This is all because the cells of the celery vascular system are working hard to keep the celery hydrated and therefore sustain its life.

There are 6 living species of Tigers.

5 species live in "Jungle" type habitats in Asia

1 species (The Siberian or Amur Tiger) lives in Siberia which is of course not a "Jungle".

oak and balsa are hardwoods even though balsa is very soft

Tree frogs are amphibians. Amphibians, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

I begged the differ, I have a mated pair of mallard ducks on my property that feed in the river and fly up every evening and sleep in our trees in the morning. I didn't think it was possible due to their webbed feet but nature proved me wrong!

A conifer has needle shaped leaves. The cones are the seed bearers.

No. I do not know of any Maple species that are Evergreen.

Apple trees produce apple blossoms, which when pollinated, then produce the fruit.

Only trees with needles produce cones with seeds, some of which are edible, but not as fruit -- as nuts.

Follow the link on the left under the blue pod and you will find photos and information as well on hazelnuts.

Spruce trees have a conical shape because it makes it easier for them to live and thrive in their natural habitats.

Spruce trees' conical shape provides a number of crucial purposes. First of all, it makes it simpler for the trees to shed snow and ice. Spruce trees are frequently found in colder climes, where significant snow and ice loads can build up on tree limbs. Spruce trees' conical shape helps to reduce this buildup by allowing snow and ice to run off the sides of the tree instead of building up on the branches and possibly shattering them.

Second, spruce trees may better absorb sunlight due to their conical structure. Each branch of the tree can get sunlight because of the spiral arrangement of its branches, which prevents any one branch from blocking out another. By doing this, each branch receives the most sunlight possible, which is crucial for photosynthesis and the generation of energy.

Last but not least, spruce trees' conical shape reduces wind resistance. The tree's tapering design makes it easier for wind to flow around it, which eases the strain on its branches and roots. As a result, the tree is better able to withstand wind and storm damage, which is particularly crucial in regions with frequent severe winds.

Overall, spruce trees' conical shape is an adaptation that has developed over time to aid these trees in surviving and flourishing in their particular settings.

bannana trees reproduce from either suckers or seeds with seeds not suckers ok

As the snow settles to the ground it causes osmosis which is the diffusion of water causing the grass cells to take in the water because diffusion travels froma an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration the grass cell has low concentration so the snow travells to the cell which tries to create equilibrium because the solvent or snow is hypoptonic to the solution in the cell the cell srinks causing it to die out

10metres i thought it was 12.1 meters tall average Answer. This depends on the type and variety of the conifer. Thuja plicata the Western Red Cedar can grow to 200 feet while Thuja plicata pumila of the same family will only reach about 2 feet.
