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.

Will redwood trees grow in Pennsylvania?
Redwood trees typically thrive in coastal regions with a specific climate, so they may not grow well in Pennsylvania due to differences in environmental conditions. It's important to consider the climate, soil, and other factors before planting redwood trees in an area outside their natural range.
What is the conflict of the juniper tree fairytale?
In "The Juniper Tree" fairy tale, the main conflict arises when the stepmother murders her stepson out of jealousy and frames her own daughter for the crime. The conflict deepens as the spirit of the murdered boy returns disguised as a bird to reveal the truth and seek justice. Ultimately, the conflict is resolved when the boy is restored to life and the stepmother is punished for her actions.
What is the life span of jamun tree?
The lifespan of a jamun tree is typically around 60-70 years, but they can live up to 100 years with proper care and optimal growing conditions. Regular pruning, adequate water, and protection from pests and diseases can help extend the tree's lifespan.
What is the top of a coconut tree called?
The top of a coconut tree is called the crown or canopy. It is where the leaves and coconuts are typically found.
What is the name of the Tree of Frankincense?
Boswellia Carteri is the tree from which frankincense ,a gum resin, is obtained by tapping the trunk.
Is it safe to paint the bark of a tree?
It is generally not safe to paint the bark of a tree as it can block the tree's ability to exchange gases with its surroundings and affect its health. It is best to avoid painting tree bark and allow it to naturally weather and develop on its own.
Which is the broadest tree in the world?
The world's largest tree, as calculated by volume, is the General Sherman, it is a Sequoiadendron giganteum, one of three species of trees that are known as Redwoods.
The world's tallest trees, the Coastal Redwoods, Sequioa sempirvirens, are also Redwoods.
What is the name of country which have Ponka or Leopdia tree?
The Poncirus trifoliata, also known as the trifoliate orange or Japanese bitter orange, is native to China and Korea. The "Leopoldia comosa" is a plant species native to the Mediterranean region.
How much does the tree octopus weigh?
North American Tree Octopi, Polypus aquilonemarbor, weighs exactly 8 pounds. Each leg weighing .75 lbs and the body 2 lbs.
South American Vine Octopi (which live in trees as well), Polypus meridiemvitis, is half that. It is believed to have evolved a smaller size better adapted for the size of the vines than its North American branch dwelling cousin.
Tree Octopi are funny! If only they really existed! :)

How much should a satsuma tree be pruned?
Red, because if your Satsuma tree has leaves then you must have 7 but 9 + 2 is 11 so it can't be green. Four triangles have 12 sides which is 11 more than a circle (a satsuma). See, it all makes sense! :)
Softwood is not a type of tree, but rather a classification of wood that comes from certain types of trees. Softwood typically comes from coniferous trees, which have needles and cones, such as pine, spruce, and cedar.
Coniferous trees have flexible branches that can bend without breaking under heavy snowfall. Additionally, their needle-like leaves reduce surface area for snow accumulation, which helps prevent branches from becoming weighed down. Finally, coniferous trees often have a conical shape that sheds snow easily, reducing the amount of weight on individual branches.
Do all tree's leaves change color?
No not really - most tropical rainforest trees are evergreens and keep their color until the leaves fall off. Certain palm trees do not change color until they die, or fall off too.
Eventually yes, but Conifers have smaller leaves so they change slower.
What tree leaves don't fall off the tree?
Trees that do not loose their leaves are called Evergreens as opposed to Deciduous or those that do loose their leaves in the autumn/winter.
Examples of Evergreens are Conifers- blue spruce, cedar- holly, oak.

What are the bad things about softwoods?
Red wood needs lots of maintenance, is expensive and soft. However, it is quite strong, durable and it doesn't rot.
What will happen to katydid when leaves change colors?
Katydid insects are typically green to blend in with the leaves they feed on. When the leaves change colors in the fall, the katydids may also change color to better camouflage themselves. This can help them avoid predators and continue to feed on leaves until the winter months.
- Some trees grow from seeds, such as evergreen trees.
Other trees need to be grafted, such as is the case for most fruit trees. Grafting is when the part of a stem containing the leaf buds is taken from a fruit tree of one species and attached to the trunk of an established, very young fruit tree of a different species. Both trees must be of the same fruit. In this way, the upper part of the grafted branch becomes the top of a new plant.
Trees that grow from seeds start out as tiny seedlings, usually growing directly under the parent tree--the tree that dropped its seeds. Often, those seedlings die because they are blocked from receiving sunlight and moisture. However, seedlings raised in nurseries usually do very well, depending on the species of tree.
Grafted trees range in size from a few inches tall to two feet tall. As these trees grow, they often need to be staked for added support.
- Blooming and Pollination
- Once a seedling has been planted, it can grow at a slow or fast rate, again depending on the species of tree. For flowering fruit trees, pollination must occur in order for fruit to be produced. Some fruit trees, like apple trees, need to be cross-pollinated. This means that it needs pollen from another tree in order to bear fruit. Other trees, like peach trees, can self-pollinate.
As a fruit tree grows, it will create blooms which will attract the bees needed to pollinate it. Soon the blooms will fall off (usually in late spring), and leaves will appear. Fruit will begin to grow where the blooms were.
Evergreen trees usually grow straight upward, keeping their arrow-like shape. Deciduous trees, on the other hand, tend to spread out and may need yearly pruning to keep a pleasing and productive shape. In the fall, the leaves of deciduous trees change colors; they become red, orange, yellow, and brown. In early winter, the leaves fall off, and the tree remains bare until spring, when blooms and buds start to form.
- Age
- Once trees are established, they can live a long, healthy life. That's true as long as their minimum water and light needs are met. Trees create their own food through a process called photosynthesis. The leaves or needles of a tree collect the energy from the sun to produce sugar, or food, for the rest of the tree. These light and water needs are usually met naturally. Once a tree is established, it does not have to be watered on a regular basis. Depending on the species, trees can grow extremely tall, such as the California Redwoods. Other species might stop growing at a certain height, as many ornamental fruit trees do.
Trees do not grow all over. Instead, they expand at the edges. Branches of a tree only grow from the tip and around the diameter. The same can be said of the trunk of a tree.
What is called thickets or woody bushes and short trees?
Thickets of woody bushes and short trees make good cover in the wild for animals. This type of habitat is easily found in wooded areas.
How big is a redwood tree compared to a human?
Very large! Redwood trees, Sequoia sempervirens, are some of the widest, tallest and long lived trees on the planet. In 2006, a redwood was proclaimed the tallest living thing, measuring almost 380 feet tall.
Firstly, the animal kingdom is simply too wide. Not all animals are domestic ones like cats and dogs.
There are animals that certainly do have emotions. Mammals possess emotions and can feel happy, sad, angry, afraid, etc. Dogs and pigs are prime examples of animals that have a complex emotion system: We see in them happiness, love, compassion, etc. Birds appear to have feelings similar to mammals due to an analagous structure in their brain. Some vultures will actually attack the spouse if caught cheating on their mate. Other animals like reptiles do possess basic emotions for survival (ex. fear), but it is heavily unlikely that they have a complex emotion system like mammals. Animals such as jellyfish, corals, anemones, oysters, sponges, etc. that do not possess a brain are virtually incapable of any emotions.
Why are tree rings becoming wider?
Wider tree rings generally mean there was heavier rain fall during the growth period which formed the ring. Variations in environmental factors such as sunlight exposure for photosynthesis, rainfall, fertilizers, etc, cause fluctuations in growth ring widths.
