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.

Yes, consumption of acacia leaves can result in death by poisoning.
Specifically, some species contain alkaloids whose cautious use realizes ceremonial, medicinal or ritual purposes for humans. Other species have cyanogenic glycosides whose interaction with enzymes releases hydrogen cyanide (HCN). The glycoside-busting enzyme will make the leaves toxic. Such foliar contamination will result in death by poisoning among foraging livestock.

What are the most common plants along the Murray river?
Within the Murray River can be found swamp gums, river red gums and black box, all of which benefit from regular flooding. However, this is only part of the flora that can be found near the Murray.
The Murray River extends for thousands of kilometres: consequently there is a huge variety of flora found along its bank between its source and where it empties into the sea in South Australia. It begins in the Alpine region of Australia, so there are alpine wildflowers at its eastern source. Moving downstream, there is a variety of native Australian flora, especially mallee and other types of eucalyptus, acacia (wattle), melaleuca, eremophila (emu bush), cassia, yanga bush, westringia, wallaby-bush and saltbush.

How many redwood trees are in California?
The Redwood trees have almost entirely been logged out of existence. Of the Old growth ancient Redwoods that used to inhabit the area, less then 2% are still standing today.
The trees that are still around are very small in comparison to the ancient trees that used to exist. An ancient Redwood could grow up to 300-350 feet in height and over 25 feet across at the base of the tree. The average life of a Redwood is between 2000-2500 years.
...but again, human ignorance and greed have stripped almost all of those trees from the planet. Of the 2% that are left, most of those exist on private timber land and are awaiting to be logged. Only a small handful of the trees have been saved and even fewer of them are in our national forests... in fact, Redwood National Forest has TWO logging mills in it.

Redwood trees are not even close to be logged out of existence. Go to Northern California and see all the National Parks that protect thousands upon thousands of both second growth and especially old growth.
---(The above 3 lines of text are NOT TRUE. I lived out in Redwood country for 4 years and was even involved in activism to try and save the last of the Redwoods. Certainly there are parks protecting some Old-growth Redwoods but they are very few and far between. The rest of the forests have been logged which include about 98-99% of the forest. This statement can be validated by the fact that one of the last old-growth Redwood logging companys (Pacific Lumber) went bankrupt a year ago because they had logged all their forests. The Redwoods have almost been logged to extinction, that is a fact. Besides, before California was colonized, there were around 2 million Redwoods standing. If there really are "thousands upon thousands" of trees still left, that still means that only 2-4% of the virgin forest still stands which means that the majority has been logged.)

How do you prune a weeping cherry tree?
It depends on the look you want. You always trim the tree from the bottom of the tree. To make it look like an umbrella which is trimmed high, or a mushroom which is evened at the lowest point. You should always keep the strongest central "leader". This will be the support for the weeping limps when it is mature. The "mushroom look" will cause scars and will make the tree look unnatural. The idea behind the weeping cherry tree is to look as naturally beautiful as possible. You decide which direction the tree grows during its pruning, just make sure you pick a good strong leader. See the related link below.
What is the tallest type of tree in the world?
According to the researches of Dr A.C. Carder, the tallest tree ever measured was an Australian Eucalyptus regnans at Watts River, Victoria, Australia, reported in 1872 by forester William Ferguson. It was 132.6 m (435 ft) tall and almost certainly measured over 150 m (500 ft) originally. Another Eucalyptus at Mt Baw Baw, Victoria, Australia, is believed to have measured 143 m (470 ft) in 1885. The Dyerville Giant, a coast redwood, estimated to be 1,600 years old when it fell in March 1991, was proven to be 113.4 m (372 ft) high, not counting the 1.5 m (5 ft) of buried base. It grew in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, USA and was the tallest tree of modern times.
