Trees

The oft-repeated claim that the Amazon rainforest produces 20% of our planet's oxygen is based on a misunderstanding. In fact nearly all of Earth's breathable oxygen originated in the oceans, and there is enough of it to last for millions of years

Yes. Aredwood is a large conifer, a dogwood is a shrub or small tree.

Trees have very varied lifespans, depending mostly on species and climate. Some trees last only two or three decades, some last hundreds of years.

I can't understand why this vulgar nonsense was not filtered out by readers.

A cord of wood refers to a measure of a standard unit or quantity of firewood, cut in 4-foot lengths and stacked in a pile 4 x 4 x 8. This unit of measure is still in use today.

Originally from ancient French. My guess is that the woodpile was measured, a long, long time ago, in the forest or woodlot, by a 4-foot lightweight rope.

Yes... sort of. That spiky wooden ball is the fruit, botanically speaking. It's obviously not a culinary fruit.

It's an insulator - it's manufactured from tree bark.

Nogal: Walnut tree

Nuez: Walnut fruit.

I realize very well how frustrating this answer is. My Spanish teacher and I, here in Guadalajara, México just discussed this for the past 30 minutes. Evidently, Walnuts are just called "nuez" (nuts) while every other type of nut either has to be clarified (i.e.: nuez de la india, nuez moscada), or it may simply have a different name (i.e.: piñon, pistache, avellana, castaña, almendras, cacahuate). !Saludos!

The best I can do is tell you that Prunus cerasus is one of the parents of the cherry so it's name would likely be Prunus Mesabi.

Question needs clarification. Sakura can refer to a Japanese Cherry, Restaurants, a make of pen, even an electric cycle

A vine is a deciduous plant.

A maple tree losing leaves on one side may indicate an issue such as uneven watering, disease, or pest infestation affecting that side. Environmental stressors, like strong winds or excessive sun exposure, could also contribute. Additionally, root damage or soil compaction on one side may limit nutrient and water uptake, leading to leaf drop. It's important to assess the tree's overall health and the surrounding environment to pinpoint the exact cause.

I planted a pink dogwood in the spring and have fertlized and water all summer. It is very dry in Tennessee in August so I have watered nearly every day but not flooded the tree. In the spring I used a tree spike (following directions carefully) to fertilize and since then I have used about 1 tsp of garden sulfur over a two month period. Though the tree has shown new growth, the leaves turn brown and curl on the end. Help! I love flowering tress and certainly want this one to be as healthy as the others in my gardens.

Thanks for any information.

Use pruning shears and severely cut back the Lantana plants. They will come back fuller, bushier and bloom profusely. In the heat of the summer cutting back your Lantana's by fifty percent or more is not considered drastic. Shape them in any form you wish!

they can grow to about a foot per year depending on size

Probably not. Hollies are, in my experience, damnably hard to kill. Zombies of the plant world.

Bodhi trees are a favorite place for many people to meditate, because Buddha became enlightened under a Bodhi tree.

A banana is not a tree but a herb. The banana leaves are bigger than the horse chestnut leaves.
