Trees

The babul tree is Acacia nilotica and it has a lot of medicinal uses as well as being a source of red gum which is similar to Gum Arabic which comes from another Acacia tree, Acacia Senegal.

It is used in the Indian subcontinent to treat a number of diseases in traditional medicine systems, some of which are STDs, coughs and colds. In Lebanon it is used during recovery from typhoid fever.

It can be used as a living hedge to deter animals from getting in to a field as it has thorns, and is used to make agricultural implements, carts and a variety of other things. The Egyptians used it to carve statues and for furniture making.

it is also a close relative of the kikar tree (Acacia nilotica subspecies indica).

might have seen a weeping willow tree about 40 plus years back at Behare Tsiege on Debre Zeiet Road public park now/private then, back at the time of Haile Selassie owned by Ato Sebahtu & family, the son now owns Tropical Gardens Park on Bole Road. Now I think of it I will go back to Behare Tsiege and see how it is now.

As for the willow family one that calls home Africas Savanna is The Combretum erythrophyllum, or river bushwillow:

The Combretum erythrophyllum, or river bushwillow, is a member of the Combretaceae family. This family comprises 20 genus and 500 species, tropical and warm, especially African trees and shrubs. Other names for the river bushwillow include vaderlandswilg and hiccup nut. The reason for the name "hiccup nut" is because the seed, if eaten, will cause violent hiccups.

This plant can be found in the African Savanna at 5 degrees to 15 degrees North latitude and 15 degrees to 50 degrees East longitude. Countries that lie in this biome are Madagascar, Senegal, Guinea, Upper Volta, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon and Ethiopia.

If you find one anywhere in Addis or the country please let me know at this e-maail hmsjunk@yahoo.com

The gulmohar tree, also known as the flamboyant tree, is deciduous. It sheds its leaves annually before the flowering season begins.

I bought a red robin tree and planted it 3 years ago, after the first season it started to look very sad, after taking advice I cut it back hoping it would encourage it to flourish. Since that time it hasn't produced as much as a leaf. I've left it undistributed hoping that it would come back itself but to no avail. How can I tell if there is anyway to encourage it or is it far to say that there is no hope and I should remove it?

It is a hardwood. I have long understood it to be as simple as, if the tree never loses it's needles/leaves (is an evergreen), it is a softwood. Even Balsa is a hardwood. If the leaves drop each year due to cold, it is a hardwood. However, I don't know if trees in tropical climates ever lose their leaves. So I learned that hardwoods surround their seed with some sort of covering (such as chestnut, walnut and apple trees) whereas evergreens (softwoods) let their seeds drop to the ground.

Olive trees should be planted at least 20 feet away from a house to prevent potential damage to the foundation, walls, or underground pipes. This distance allows the tree roots to spread without impacting the structure of the house.

The tree would provide a habitat for various animals such as birds, insects, and squirrels. It would also offer shade and shelter for smaller plants and organisms beneath its canopy. Additionally, the tree could contribute to the overall health of the ecosystem by providing food and oxygen through photosynthesis.

The phylogenetic tree is used for the study of evolutionary Biology. The phylogenetic tree is a symbolic diagram that is meant to represent the similarity and differences of different species for comparison with common evolutionary relatives.

A good shade tree that does not shed leaves is the live oak tree. Live oaks are evergreen trees that provide a dense canopy and shade year-round without dropping their leaves. They are also drought-tolerant and can adapt well to various soil types.

A banana tree typically produces fruit only once in its lifetime. After the tree has produced a bunch of bananas, it will usually not produce fruit again.

Trees have been negatively impacted by human use through deforestation for agriculture, logging, and urban development, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation. Pollution from industrial activities and vehicles can also harm trees by affecting their growth and health. Climate change is another major threat to trees, as it can alter local weather patterns and increase the frequency of extreme events like droughts and wildfires.

Evergreen forests have trees that do not shed their leaves all at once, and thus do not have a definite time for trees to shed their leaves. Instead, they shed leaves continuously throughout the year.

Bald Cypress has sap in its cones, but nearly absent from the wood; it does not bleed when cut.

The cones can be pulled apart easily, each cone houses about 3 or 4 sacs filled with about a mL of cypress sap each.

The sap is hardly as viscous as other conifers, it's rather liquidy and sinks almost immediately into your skin and stains yellow!

An example of an autotroph is the Venus fly trap. Basically, autotrophs are capable of making their own food through sunlight.

Mangrove trees do not produce fruits like traditional fruit-bearing trees. Instead, mangroves typically produce propagules, which are seedlings that germinate while still attached to the parent tree before falling and taking root in the surrounding muddy substrate.

Common French starters include soupe à l'oignon (French onion soup), escargots de Bourgogne (snails in garlic butter), and salade niçoise (Nicoise salad).

There are a couple of ways to kill a tall catalpa tree: You can apply chemicals that kill a catalpa a few ways, including on the exterior, as in a basal bark application or under the bark, using a hack-and-squirt application, and after you cut it down, with a cut-stump application. It is best to kill a catalpa when it's in a dormancy phase instead of an active growth phase.

You can pick a granadilla from the tree when it has turned from green to yellow or orange and feels slightly soft to the touch. This indicates that the fruit is ripe and ready to be harvested.

Other names for the lagani auna tree include cypress pine, Bhutan pine, and Bhutan fir.

The tree name that uses all 5 vowels is "sequoia."

Trees located near factories can accumulate dust on their leaves due to air pollution emitted by the factory. Pollutants such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides can settle on the leaves, blocking sunlight and disrupting the trees' ability to photosynthesize. Over time, this can weaken the trees and affect their overall health.

Ravi, Medi, Marri, Juwwi and Mamidi (Ficus, Tisela, Ficus raligiota, Firus glomerata, Banyan and Mango) All these five pallavams are used in sacred water kalasam (jar containing and offering worshipped as a preliminary to a main ceremony)

A sycamore is a broadleaf tree. It has distinct leaves with broad surfaces, unlike needleleaf trees such as pine or spruce which have needle-like leaves.
