Trees stand there, not saying a word, frozen. Melinda doesn’t talk a substantial amount in her class and social life, therefore, it is like she is frozen, not speaking. A dead tree can represent how Melinda wasn’t able to speak, the leaves on the dead tree are still clinging onto it, hoping it can live longer. Like that, Melinda would cling onto the idea that she would return to her happy self, maybe being able to freely express herself again. During Melinda’s science class, she draws a willow tree drooping into the water, this represents her sadness. “I look out the window. No limos... Now when I really want to leave, no one will give me a ride. I sketch a willow tree drooping into the water” (page 147). This shows how the willow tree expresses her negative emotion without saying a word. When Melinda’s dad was chopping down their tree; of course, it couldn’t say anything because it is only a tree. “ He is killing the tree... The tree is dying... There’s nothing to do or say. We watch in silence as the tree crashes piece by piece to the damp ground,” (page 187). This shows that when Melinda got raped, she did not say anything, instead she was dying inside, depression taking over. A tree in its various stages was an object that describes Melinda’s freshman year from the beginning to the

As corpses permeate the graveyard, the ability sustain life itself comes into question; Olds warps the significance of the tree to argue that life is no longer sustainable. Due to the lack of enough wood for coffins, the disposal of corpses exemplify desperation and require inhumane treatment. The sheer number of corpses necessitates that many are “Bound with rope like the tree's ball of roots / When it waits to be planted”(7-8). Literally converting poisonous carbon dioxide into oxygen, a tree preserves life on earth. Ironically, as the

Many new species such as the anaconda along with various other animals and plants have been introduced to Florida, but those who run River Bend State Park have done a superb job at keeping the park free of any invasive species. The park has also take precautionary measures for protecting their oldest tree in the Park by adding fence around the tree with cameras to make sure that the tree remains undisturbed. This tree just so happens to be buried on top of an Indian burial tomb and it is told to be that this particular oak tree is 300 years old. Unfortunately, this tree is now slowly dying, but no one knows exactly how long the tree could take to fully

Based on the current conditions of the area, we hypothesis that tree survivability will be highest in elevations above 3,000 feet and below 3,300 feet, highest in slopes between 0 - 45 degrees, and highest in aspects between 0 - 33 degrees. Tree survivability will also be highest in area with the best soil, water quality, and forest health conditions for successful tree sapling growth.

People sometimes keep tree stumps after the tree has been cut down and use it as a design element in their yard. This isn't the worst idea, but there are a lot more reasons to get rid of a tree stump than there are to keep it. If you decide that stump removal is the best option, you'll want to make sure hire the right company for the job.

Watch our video below (less than 30 seconds) which shows how safe and "quickly" we work to remove a tree in danger of falling for one of our clients.

There are several soil results might happen after the tree removal in this case, from limited influence to significant damage. As this case just mentioned the site soil classification of this reclaimed land is H1 but not mention the soil type. If it's sandy area, removal trees might cause less damage to the soil because sand does not swell or shrink with changes in moisture (Victorian building authority, 2015). However, if these trees are used to take more moisture from the underground water system in clay soil land, the tree removal land will become more wet or dry due to the different surrounding agricultural situation. For example, if there are heavy rainy after the tree removal and there are no other trees or shrubs around the site, too much accumulated water will stay on the hole and change the clay soils to be more reactive. On the other hand, if there are other big trees and shrubs around the site, the extra moisture will be absorbed by these trees and the site soil is going to be dry. Thus, the classification of the soil will be changed and it lead to change the footing construction system as well. All in all, tree conditions should be considered before the removal and a more careful site filling and cleaning jobs should be

To start, Davey consulted with stadium management and construction contractors to ensure no trees were lost during the stadium renovations. To boost the trees’ health, Davey then incorporated techniques such as vertical mulching and soil nutrient injections with our patented ArborGreen PRO®.

Whether it’s tree trimming, stump removal, pruning, shaping, reducing the crown size, removing trees, or enhancing your view, we do it all. We are equipped with latest technologies for the safe removal of trees and stumps.

One hundred and fifty two of the trees surveyed were dead (7.1%), with 81 of those (53.29%) situated in the Green Prairie management unit (Figure 9). Sixty seven out of this 152 trees (44%) were unable to identified and classified as Unknown. Of the percentage that could be identified, Black/Red Oak and Black Cherry presented the bigger frequencies (50 and 16, respectively).

If you do not have much experience with the cultivating and growing of trees, a tree service helps you to determine whether a tree is recovering from its burns. Interestingly, a tree may not look like it is healthy because of the charred bark, but under that bark, regrowth could be taking place. The most common indicator that there is still life in your native trees is the appearance of regrowth.

Look at all those tree stumps, is as if some giant cut down the trees. Wandering the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona I noticed the fallen trees were devoid of bark and branches. I began to wonder what could have caused only the trunks of the ancient trees to survive.

The fungus that causes sudden oak death can spread to a variety of plants, so it is important to understand how it differs in look from plant to plant. Generally in oaks, the cankers will be dark or cause a discoloration, such as red or orange bark.

Since timber is no longer as plentiful as it used to be, and some types are no longer available except through recovery, large quantities are being recovered from abandoned barns, mills, factories, warehouses, coal mines, boxcars and even river logs and processed into reusable lumber and sold for new building. That recycled wood is called reclaimed lumber and following is what I have learned about it.

Look at all those tree stumps; it’s as if a giant cut down the trees. Wandering the Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, I noticed the fallen trees were devoid of bark and branches and some appeared cut, with a chainsaw.
