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

    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.…
