While is hard to know 100% which state has the most trees many sources explain that Alaska has the most acreage of trees in the whole U.S. but from the Resources Planning Act 2002, published by the USDA Forest Service says that Oregon is the state with more even than Alaska, however other studies also show Washington as the state with the most trees.

ARBOL DEL TULE IN OAXACA MEX

Its trunk has aproximately a circumference of 119 ft, equating to a diameter of 38.1 ft, a slight increase from a measurement of 37.5 ft. However, the trunk is heavily buttressed, giving a higher diameter reading than the true cross-sectional of the trunk represents; when this is taken into account, the diameter of the 'smoothed out' trunk is 30.8 ft. 

The height is difficult to measure due to the very broad crown; In 2005 they measured it to 116 ft,  shorter than previous measurements of 135–141 ft. The DNA of this tree as proven than although it looks like its diffeent trees attached to each other its only one tree. This tree is located by a church and it attracts people who start encouturing figures of animals across the truck from an elephant shape to a gorilla's face.

LONE CYPRESS

17-Mile Drive is a scenic road through Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach on the Monterey Peninsula in California, much of which hugs the Pacific coastline and passes famous golf courses and mansions. Part of it serves as the main road through the gated community of Pebble Beach. Inside this community, nonresidents have to pay a toll to use the road. Chief among the scenic attractions is the Lone Cypress Tree (36.568738°N 121.965321°W), a salt-pruned Monterey cypress(macrocarpa) tree which is the official symbol of Pebble Beach and a frequent fixture of television broadcasts from this area. The Monterey Cypress is a species of cypress that is endemic to the Central Coast of California. In the wild, the species is confined to two small populations, near Monterey and Carmel.

THE CIRCUS TREE "BASKET TREE"

Axel Erlandson a man who used to shape trees as a hobby got the idea to make this tree from a visit that his daughter and wife did to an ocean near santa cruz california in 1945. He quickly bought land in Santa Clara valley where he planted 6 sycamore trees in a circle, topped them all at one foot, then approach-grafted them together one to another to form the diamond patterns. For the first 2.5 meters (8') he left an opening at the top. This specimen today is featured as the centerpiece of Gilroy Gardens.

THE TREE OF LIFE

The Tree of Life in Bahrain is a mesquite tree which grows in the middle of desert. The tree is said to be 400 to 500 years old. Its long roots probably have found some underground water source, but it is still a miracle as it is the only green living organism living in a vast and barren desert. The local inhabitants believe that this was the actual location of the Garden of Eden.

AVENUE OF THE BAOBABS

The Avenue of the Baobabs is a group of famous trees lining the dirt road between Morondava and Belon’i Tsiribihina in western Madagascar. Its striking landscape draws travelers from around the world, making it one of the most visited tourist attractions in Madagascar. The Baobab trees, up to 800 years old, did not originally tower in isolation over the sere landscape of scrub but stood in dense tropical forest. Over the years, as the country’s population grew, the forests were cleared for agriculture, leaving only the famous baobab trees.

The holidays are over. The decorations have been put away for another year. The house looks a little plain, a little drab. In the greyishness of January, your eye catches something in the corner of the room. Why, it's a houseplant! Funny, but with all of the holiday hubabuloo, you've all but forgotten your houseplants.

Today is THE day to get back to tending to, and loving your houseplants. And, it's also a day to appreciate just how special and important they are. They are therapeutic, lifting your mood and outlook. They add warmth and a calming effect. If you are a gardner, they give you an opportunity to play in the dirt, until spring arrives in the far, distant future.

Growing houseplants is pretty easy. They need a little sunlight, water, occasional nutrients, and a little love..

How to Celebrate Houseplant Appreciation Day:

There are lots of ways to celebrate and enjoy this day. They include:

· Start by making sure that the houseplants you already have, are well watered. Give them a special treat today... a little fertilizer.

· If you do not have any houseplants, or just have a couple, buy a new houseplant (or two) on this day).

· Learn more about the benefits of houseplants to your health.

· Stand by your houseplant and breath in the air! It's giving off oxygen.

· Teach your kids about growing and caring for plants.

· Give a houseplant to a friend, especially the elderly or shut-ins.

· Talk to your plants. Yes, people believe plants respond positively, when you talk to them.

Origin of  Houseplant Appreciation Day:

 

This holiday was created by the folks at The Gardener's Network

It was created for two reasons:

1.      To remind people after the holidays, that their forgotten houseplants need a little attention.

2.      To celebrate beneficial houseplants and to encourage growing houseplants.

From the beginning of time trees have been essential for this earth and humans, they provide us with 2 special components and basic elements such as Oxygen and Food.

Trees provide is with additional necessities like shelter, medicine and tools, etc. 

These are 10 reasons why trees are important.

1. They're beautiful.
2. They provide a habitat for animals and birds.
3. Homes and people get shade from the sun in the summer. 
4. Homes get the energy benefit from the winter sun once the leaves fall from the trees. 
5. Trees prevent soil erosion thanks to their root systems.
6. Trees clean the air. Their leaves absorb nitrous oxides, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and ground-level ozone, all of which contribute to air pollution. 
7. Trees can also serve as a barrier from the wind which can really blow hard where we live.
8. Trees can provide fruit which is incredibly delicious, and help you save money on groceries.
9. Trees can provide a place for children to play.
10. Trees increase property value.

Mulch

Every year Mulch is used on houses in flower beds, around trees and nurseries. Mulch besides providing a good and clean look on our gardeners it also protects it because it prevents erosion, controls weeds, adds nutrients and holds water in the ground.Shredded mulch is usually sold as single, double or triple shredded.

 Mulch is usually applied towards the beginning of the growing season, and is often reapplied as necessary. It serves initially to warm the soil by helping it retain heat which is lost during the night. This allows early seeding and transplanting of certain crops, and encourages faster growth. As the season progresses, mulch stabilizes the soil temperature and moisture, and prevents sunlight from germinating weed seeds.

Materials used as mulches vary and are made differently.  depend on use, availability, cost, appearance, the effect it has on the soil including chemical reactions, durability, combustibility, how clean it is some can contain weed seeds or plant pathogens.

Tree Planting Where One Was Removed

AAA TREE SERVICE

www.AAATreeServiceNY.com

Many Homeowners love their trees and when trees get ill, about to die, drying up or need removal, homeowners maybe want to replace it with another tree.

So is it a good idea to plant a tree where another one was removed? 

There are many factors that you have to take under consideration before making this decisions because it may not be a good idea and it doesn't work for everyone, results vary.  

In most situations when a tree gets removed they may also ask to remove the stump but the truth is that stumps are difficult to remove 100%, even when the stump isn't visible to the human eye. Many trees have extensive root systems located underground. It also depends on the soil and if that spot still have nutrients for your new tree. Another factor is that if a tree died in that particular space it may be for a certain reason maybe a fungal infection that can affect your new tree and resulting on another dead tree.  Planting a new tree may result in killing it, the new tree's roots wont be able to grow since the old tree's roots are still underground, removing underground roots involves other expensive procedures. It's better for you to plant a new tree either in another completely different spot or maybe a little close to the one you had previously but always consult a tree expert so he studies the area and advises you on what step to take.
