The California Redwood's leaves capture and channel the fog water droplets. They can actually trap more water than they can use so provide water for other plants.
Todd Dawson of UC Berkeley has studied the trees to find "a 100' tall redwood tree can gather the equivalent of four inches of rain". During the dry summer, with only fogs, the trees gather water to provide about 1/2 the annual water needed by the forest
Are you growing your tree outside? Myrrh trees need at least six hours of full sun each day. Remember that myrrh grows in arid regions. Do not over water. Mine grow in Los Angeles, an arid region. I added cactus mix to the soil.
Also, it is normal for myrrh trees to lose their leaves in winter. Cut back on watering while the tree is in its winter dormancy.
A woody plant that has multiple stems and matures to a maximum height of 15-20 feet [5-6 meters] is a definition of a shrub. It's a woody plant because it's like trees in its internal structure and outward appearance. For example, it has two sets of transportation channels. The xylem moves water and nutrients up from the roots. The phloem moves energizers such as starches and sugars down from the centers of photosynthetic activity in the leaves.
But within that definition, there are shrubs that seem more like bushes and ones that seem more like trees. The bush like shrubs tend to have many, many small leafy branches that grow close together. Just two examples may be Abelia and Forsythia.
The tree like shrubs tend to have tree like branches and look like small trees. In fact, they often are called as such. They may reach a height more towards 30 feet [8 meters]. They tend to be broad leaved, deciduous woodies that shed their foliage yearly. But they also include evergreens whose foliage discreetly is replaced from the trunk outwards around every three years. Just two examples are the deciduous Flowering Dogwood [Cornus florida] and the evergreen Mountain Pine [Pinus mugo]. A shrub is a term used to describe a bush or small tree. Shrubs can often be found in home and business landscaping.
