"He who plants a tree, plants hope," wrote poet Lucy Larcom, in recognition of the fact that most trees outlive the gardener who planted them and extend the pleasure to the next generation.

Proper tree placement and nurture are the keys to helping trees of all species to thrive and grow.

Using a safety pin makes the process much easier.
Many deciduous and evergreen trees can be reproduced from the cuttings. For instance, long leaf pines grow from re-harvested cuttings. Re-harvesting involves re-rooting the cuttings in fertile ground. This asexual process of reproduction requires diligent care and maintenance in order for pines to grow and thrive. The ideal season for re-harvesting long leaf pine cuttings in the ground is winter, since the soil is most moist this time of year, so begin the propagation process in late fall.
A non-flowering tree that produces its seeds in cones, the bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) naturally inhabits the lowland plains across the southeastern United States. Horticulturists prize this tree for its attractive habit, adaptability to both soggy and drier average garden soils and its attractive, feathery foliage. Bald cypress developed multiple biological adaptations to improve its survival in the wild. These adaptations allow the trees to grow well in a wide array of landscape settings, and often contribute to the tree's ornamental qualities.

Through decades of selection and breeding by horticulturists, crape myrtles that mature anywhere from miniature shrubs only 18 inches tall to trees 30 feet tall are grown in the United States. Some cultivars of trees tend to grow much more quickly than shrubbier types, the result of an serendipitous genetic trait. However, healthy trees and those pampered after planting establish and grow faster in subsequent…
Being in the shower is a lousy time for the water pressure to drop, so it's important to seek out the cause of the problem so that it doesn't happen again.
