Fun Tree Facts!
Did you know that trees aren’t just something nice to look at visually? There are lots of benefits to the environment and to us! For instance, did you know that the oxygen they produce assists us in our own lives?
Depending on the species of tree they can live for a long time, even hundreds of years. This is even with bad weather and the environment around them changing. For instance, Pine Trees are an example of an adaptable species, which can survive happily in several continents.
When a tree grows, it doesn’t grow all at once. Different parts will grow at different times during the year. Their foliage will generally grow during the spring months. In the warmer months is when their trunk tends to grow and their roots grow slowly during their dormant period.
Did you know that technically trees can communicate with each other? When they are infested with insects and pests they can make chemicals called phenolics which tells other trees to do so themselves, so they look after themselves and the ones around them!
