Plants experience growth at the tip of the root / shoot which is the location of the apical meristem. (Meristem being the tissue that contains meristematic cells). \n\nHowever, vascular plants also have meristematic tissue called the vascular cambium. 'Inside' cells of the vascular cambium give rise to secondary xlyem cells while the 'outside' cells give rise to the secondary phloem cells.  \n\nAdditionally, woody plants have an additional meristematic tissue called the cork cambium, which forms the periderm (bark).\n\n\n---- \nCrudely put, the primary growth leads to elongation of the plant, while secondary growth increases its 'girth'

Most of the conifers have a huge number of leaves. The leaves are small and needle shaped or scale like so a large number can be packed by nature in a small space.Example are \nPines,Cedars,Junipers and Xmas tree.

These systems are called BIOLOGICAL KEYS.\n\nBooks will have titles such as, 'Key to Flowering Plants', or perhaps more specifically, 'Key to Woodland Trees', etc. Some however, have more unusual names such as 'Excursion Flora' (!!!).\nKeys used by Biologists are often very complicated and difficult to use because of the very specific language they need to be precise. So if you were to have a go with one you must find a key that is designed for your current level of understanding.\nYou will also need to decide which bit of nature you want to study, e.g. woodland plants, pasture plants, shoreline plants, salt marsh plants, etc. Identifying trees has a further problem in that leaf shape is an important identifier but deciduous trees lose their leaves in winter; in this case 'winter bud shape' is used instead.\n\nThe link below is an example of an online key produced by the county of Hampshire, UK to identify trees:

My boyfriend has been researching his fam tree, has found some very cool info online - I think it would be fun to do mine!

That is a good question.  Trees are a renewable resource though, so it is kind of a non-issue.

One Christmas, I had a beautiful balsam tree from Canada. It was the prettiest tree we ever had. But, as was my luck every year, I had a cold. But this time, it was really bad. As I was walking to the grocery store, I started to get better. Better, from a cold? That's how I finally figured out it was the tree. It could have been the mold in the tree also, I don't know.

Here they are...weaker first.\n\nbalsa, fir, pine, douglas fir, oak, hickory\n\nThe strongest of available woods for airplanes is hickory, as it was used on the wingtips.\n\nSitka spruce was used everywhere else ,not because it was weak, but strong for it's weight.\n\nThe "Spruce Goose" was made from douglas fir and douglas fir plywood.

Number of Douglas fir trees: D\nNumber of Hemlock trees: H\n\nH + D = 500  => H = 500 - D\n\n300H + 250D = 132000\n=>SUBSTITUTING (500 - D) for H we get:\n\n300 (500 - D) + 250D =132000\n150000 - 50D =132000\n=>D= 360\n=>H= 500 - 360 = 140\n\nWe solved a system of two equations using the substitution method.

In species which show a distinct difference between heartwood and sapwood the natural color of heartwood is usually darker than that of the sapwood, and very frequently the contrast is conspicuous. This is produced by deposits in the heartwood of various materials resulting from the process of growth, increased possibly by oxidation and other chemical changes, which usually have little or no appreciable effect on the mechanical properties of the wood. Some experiments on very resinous Longleaf Pine specimens, however, indicate an increase in strength. This is due to the resin which increases the strength when dry. Such resin-saturated heartwood is called "fat lighter". Structures built of fat lighter are almost impervious to rot and termites; however they are very flammable. Stumps of old longleaf pines are often dug, split into small pieces and sold as kindling for fires. Stumps thus dug may actually remain a century or more since being cut. Spruce impregnated with crude resin and dried is also greatly increased in strength thereby.\n \nThe wood of Coast Redwood is distinctively red in colourSince the late wood of a growth ring is usually darker in color than the early wood, this fact may be used in judging the density, and therefore the hardness and strength of the material. This is particularly the case with coniferous woods. In ring-porous woods the vessels of the early wood not infrequently appear on a finished surface as darker than the denser late wood, though on cross sections of heartwood the reverse is commonly true. Except in the manner just stated the color of wood is no indication of strength.\n\nAbnormal discoloration of wood often denotes a diseased condition, indicating unsoundness. The black check in western hemlock is the result of insect attacks. The reddish-brown streaks so common in hickory and certain other woods are mostly the result of injury by birds. The discoloration is merely an indication of an injury, and in all probability does not of itself affect the properties of the wood. Certain rot-producing fungi impart to wood characteristic colors which thus become symptomatic of weakness. Ordinary sap-staining is due to fungous growth, but does not necessarily produce a weakening effect.

Palms have no branches.It is a Monocotyledonous tree that is branchless.If you cut a palm tree the remaining part dies away.Whereas a Dicotyledonous tree like spruce is  pruned, the remaining part produces numerous branches and the tree continues to grow.\n What is called FROND is the complete leaf of a palm.As a rule these leaves are large and compound hence look like branches.

I've never heard of a Tung Tree.  Pine trees yes...Tung..no.\njust looked it up...The Tung tree (Vernicia fordii) is a deciduous tree in the spurge family. It is known by many names in its native China, 油桐 (lit. oil tung) being the formal name, while others (桐油樹、光桐、三年桐、百年桐、桐子樹) are common names. The tung tree is valued for tung oil, which is derived from the seeds of the tree. It has been introduced to Argentina, Paraguay, and the United States for cultivation.\n\nPS deciduous trees lose their leaves and are therefore considered a Hardwood...Pine is a soft wood.
