What trees have roots that grow straight down and not out. Want to plant a tree in my backyard where I have a inground pool and dont want the roots of the tree to disturb the pool.?

No trees do that. A lot of trees, when they're young, have a tap root which grows deep but it is always accompanied with support roots which grow out from the tree.

Tree roots don't make holes in things, they only find existing holes and grow into them expanding as they grow making the hole bigger and causing problems. You'll be fine as long as you have no holes in the first place. As its a swimming pool i doubt you will.

Alternatively you can install a root barrier, these will stop the roots getting any where near the pool. You'll find info on this on-line.

I hope this helps

Why is wood split into slender pieces and the pieces of wood arranged loosely in the stove for cooking with the use of fine wood?

Whether for cooking or heating, and whether in a stove or camp fire, wood burns best when lit and built using smaller, slender pieces first, and in a "tent" or tepee style with one end touching the other pieces where they meet. Slender, small wood catches and burns fast. For a strong, long-lasting fire, pieces are arranged loosely, with thinner pieces at the center (tepee style) and a crisscrossing base at the bottom, then, loosely laying larger pieces of wood against the tepee on all of the outside edges. The larger wood burns more slowly with greater heat due to its mass. As the larger wood burns, it will break through near the centers; a human can use a tool or stick to push the untouched leftovers closer into the fire. Then, to keep the fire going, you'd add more large pieces at the outside edges. And repeat.

Who owns the fruit on branches that hang over my property if my neighbor owns the fruit tree?

If the fruit falls onto your side, I believe it would be yours.

However, though some localities say a homeowner can cut overhanging branches IF the cutting does not deface the tree, it is MUCH more neighborly to work out the problem with your neighbor. No point in hurting a tree, especially one old enough to produce fruit.

Why does rock salt kill?

Unless you drop a 50-pound of salt from the roof onto someone's head, rock salt is harmless. In other words, rock salt doesn't kill people; only people kill people. However, if you are talking about fish and plants, well, that's another story. In New York City, great quantities of rock salt -- mostly imported from Jamaica (the country; not the section of Queens) -- is used to de-ice city streets. When the ice and snow melt, runoff flows into storm sewers and is carried out to the surrounding waterways. This can over-salinate the already brackish waters of the lower Hudson and East rivers, wreaking havoc on their ecosystems. Also, too much salt in soil can render it barren.
