tree
In botany, a tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most species. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, including only woody plants with secondary growth, plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height. In wider definitions, the taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos are also trees. Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight. Trees tend to be long-lived, some reaching several thousand years old. Trees have been in existence for 370 million years. It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world.A tree typically has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground by the trunk. This trunk typically contains woody tissue for strength, and vascular tissue to carry materials from one part of the tree to another. For most trees it is surrounded by a layer of bark which serves as a protective barrier. Below the ground, the roots branch and spread out widely; they serve to anchor the tree and extract moisture and nutrients from the soil. Above ground, the branches divide into smaller branches and shoots. The shoots typically bear leaves, which capture light energy and convert it into sugars by photosynthesis, providing the food for the tree's growth and development.
Trees usually reproduce using seeds. Flowers and fruit may be present, but some trees, such as conifers, instead have pollen cones and seed cones. Palms, bananas, and bamboos also produce seeds, but tree ferns produce spores instead.
Trees play a significant role in reducing erosion and moderating the climate. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store large quantities of carbon in their tissues. Trees and forests provide a habitat for many species of animals and plants. Tropical rainforests are among the most biodiverse habitats in the world. Trees provide shade and shelter, timber for construction, fuel for cooking and heating, and fruit for food as well as having many other uses. In parts of the world, forests are shrinking as trees are cleared to increase the amount of land available for agriculture. Because of their longevity and usefulness, trees have always been revered, with sacred groves in various cultures, and they play a role in many of the world's mythologies.
Good Morning,
New to growing your own fruit? No worries, here is some advice, take it or leave it, it's your call
Cold Weather Spring & Fall
In our area in the spring and fall months, the warm days cause the sap to run up into the tree trunk and major branches, when night time temperatures...
I have a dueling tree with 8 paddles. It is 28 inches tall and 15 inches across. I have only used 22 rimfire on it, with one exception where a friend chipped one paddle with a 223! Not sure what he was thinking, but the chip/hole is minor. Paid over $200.00, asking $50.00 cash. Gary.
All there , great for camping, hunting trip or weekend poker game. Chips are standard weight not cheap plastic. Set is heavy.

This birch tree, that is around 25' tall did not make it through the winter. Would like it removed and the wood is yours. How much to remove? I have some other seasoned wood that can go with it!
Thank You and God Bless!
Cleaning out dad's basement and found 6 finished 6"x3/8" plates and 21 6"x1/2" unfinished plates. They could probably be used to make some nice plate racks. My dad never did stuff cheap so I'm guessing it's all AR500 but he's gone so I can't be sure. A couple of the finished plates have been...

I won this set a few years back and just been sitting, never even used. Would be great for a hunting party. 50 obo If way off let me know: will not ship as this thing is heavy. Accepting trade offers.
OK, if we caught a degenerate starting a fire in our forest, I would first tie them to a tree, but I have this giant mound of forest ants that love meat - I throw dead raccoons and road kill on their mound to train them...
Probably fell onto numerous fists. :)

I bought this to put around the property, get mail, etc., but it's too small for me, and too big for my 5 year old. Less than 20 minutes of total run time, and it's still on the first tank of gas. Save yourself shipping, assembly, oiling and a few bucks from buying new. This would be great...
