Palo Verde Plant
For this project I will be planting a Palo Verde tree in the front yard of my house on September 12. I will need to find a nice spot to plant the tree to make sure it won't die. I'm choosing to plant a tree because I've always wanted to do it. I'm going to plant the tree with soil to give it the nutrients it needs. Also I am going to put wood chip mulch all around it to keep it from drying out from all the heat. I will water the tree every day, and check for growth every other week.
Planting trees is always helping the environment. Trees provide oxygen for every living thing on earth. They also provide homes the wildlife, and sometimes food as well. They give shade to other plants to protect them from dying, such as cacti. The trees give them shade during summer, and sun during the winter. Palo Verde trees have yellow flowers that grow on them which attract bees. Bees

Animals might try to dig up the tree, or they might try to eat it. The tree might die from the heat, or from the cold. Also, I might water it too much, that could also kill the tree as well. To prevent these things from happening, I will need to protect it by putting fencing around it. Also, I can make a chart every time I water the tree, so I know when I do and don't need to water it. I will try to have my mom help me in this process because she is always home, and she reminds me to do my stuff when I forget.
There also is some safety issues that I will consider. In the soil there is different chemicals, so I will need to protect my skin. I can do that by wearing the appropriate clothing needed to plant a tree. Such as, a long sleeve shirt, pants, and shoes that will protect my feel. I will also supply myself with gloves to protect my hands from anything sharp. Another thing I need to consider is while planting the tree, I will be leaning forward a lot, and that will hurt my back. To fix that, I will need to not lean forward as

    The American Beech, a tall and wide tree, is well suited to the environment because of its many sunlight-collecting leaves. It also has a complex root system, which grows quite far outward but goes about a half-foot deep into the ground, making it extremely hard to fell. This tree can grow up to 90 to 100 feet.…

    2. The pecan tree starts off small and eventually gets bigger over time like pretty much everything else in the world.

    A common misconception about a tree is that its roots grow down, but this is not actually the case. The roots of a tree spread out very wide, potentially as wide as the tree’s leaves spread themselves. Now I’m sure many of you have seen trees planted along sidewalks and streets in Toronto. On the lakeshore between Carlaw and Coxwell for example, there are very thin lane dividers with grass on them. Now fairly recently, the city of Toronto has planted numerous trees along those dividers, with the idea that in some years from now, the whole strip would look beautiful with all the trees fully grown. But those trees will never get the chance to grow up. When planting trees you really need to look at the surrounding area of where the tree is being planted. Like I said before, a tree’s roots need to spread out very wide in order for the…

    Teak Case Study

    • 1082 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The concept of site includes the set of biotic and abiotic factors that influence tree growth. Teak is native to regions of South Asia with a monsoon climate. It develops on fertile soils of alluvial, limestone, and basalt origin (Kaosa-ard., 1989). Teak has been planted in a large variety of site conditions inside and outside of its native area across the tropics, including extremes of climate and soil conditions. Complex relationships between climate and soils (soil evolution depends on parent material and climate) and specific requirements of teak combine so that optimal growth is limited to relatively small areas. E.g., in dry climates teak can be grown, but if soils have little water holding capacity, prospects of a successful plantation are reduced. Moreover, teak requirements appear to vary according to genotype and site as reported in Central America, Brazil, and Africa (Alvarado, 2013; Matricardi, 2013; Dreschel & Zech, 1994). Careless assessment of site conditions can lead to plantation failure or poor growth. On the other hand, the feeling that it is possible to reach higher yields in shorter time highlights the need of precise assessment of site characteristics that favor (or limit) optimal growth with minimum risks. Table 2 resumes the ranges of site factors allowing acceptable to optimal teak growth, and growth/survival limiting values of such…

    The tree has deep roots which draws its sap from the earth. It gives rise to tiny twigs and miniature boughs. We hack and chop to kill a tree. But hacking and chopping cannot destroy it completely as green twigs are sure to emerge from the bleeding bark. The miniature boughs (branches) will grow from close to the ground and grow back to its normal size.…

It might be necessary tocarry it by large machines, depending on the size of the tree, but if it is a 2 meter tree or less it can behandled by human beings. In this part you have to apply all the possible precautions avoiding any injureto the tree like breaking a root or a branch. Also, the tree will be out of its living place which implies thatit could die if the transportation takes a long time.…
