Tree-Pictures.com page about the Autumn Trees

Fall is everyone's favorite season of the year. A popular Autumn pastime is to take the family for a drive in the country or hike in the conservation areas to see the fall colors. A magical time where the sunlight streams through the colorful leaves.

Leaves on deciduous trees change color and create a majestic landscape of reds, oranges and yellows. Maple trees are especially colorful at this time of year.

We invite you to take a moment and view our feature page to see some of the beautiful fall color photos we have taken.

Or, if you prefer, you can visit our tree pictures blog where you can use the photos to help identify different types of trees or just browse and enjoy the artistic nature of the pictures.

Life of a Tree

In order for a plant to be classified as a tree it must be perennial (continues to grow for more than one year) and have a self supporting trunk made of woody material.

Tree-Pictures.com Summer Trees Feature Page

Rhododendrons are a perennial favorite in both public gardens and private outdoor spaces. These evergreen ornamental shrubs add a burst of color around this time of year. So for the month of June we are featuring our rhododendrons page.

The popularity of rhododendrons can be attributed to their large showy blooms that come in a myriad of colors including red, white, pale pink, dark pink, purple, orange and yellow.

Photographers love to take pictures of rhododendron flowers because of their vibrant colors and exquisite detail. So grab your camera and head out to your local park, arboretum, or botanical gardens to enjoy the spectacular sight of rhododendron shrubs in full bloom.

Anatomy of a Tree

Tree Roots:

• Absorb water and minerals from the soil, anchors tree to the ground, and stores food for the winter months.

Tree Trunk:

• Supports the tree, protects tree from outside elements, transports food and water to the rest of the tree.

Tree Branches:

• Provide transportation of food and water from the trunk to the leaves and support structures for the leaves, flowers and fruit.

Tree Leaves:

• Site of photosynthesis, providing food for the tree and releasing oxygen into the air

Tree Cookies

A horizontal cut through the trunk of a tree will reveal growth rings. These rings tell the story of the life of the tree. Each year of growth can be seen as a layer of light or dark wood. Wide rings indicate good growing conditions whereas narrow rings may indicate a period of drought. The total number of rings will identify how old the tree is.

Whittling

Whittling is the art of creating shapes out of wood using a knife to gradually shave off chips of wood until the desired design is achieved.

One might fashion a custom walking stick out of a maple tree branch by whittling.

The Power of a Single Tree

• A tree produces approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year.


• A tree absorbs as much carbon in a year, as a car produces driving 26,000 miles.


• A tree helps combat climate change and lowers air temperature


• A tree prevents wind and soil erosion through its roots by stabalizing the soil.


• A tree increases water penetration and contributes to the fertility of land through nitrogen fixation.

Did You Know: Trees produce more oxygen than any other single living organism.

Tree Service

Home owners and property owners may encounter the problems and headaches of having big trees.

Certainly the cost factor, be it tree relocating, transplanting, tree cutting, trimming care, disease injections, tree stump removal and/or pruning can easily add up.

Depending on the tree job, costs can go past the hundreds and into the thousands of dollars.

DIY tree service? You may consider if can do it yourself and save the money. Good idea is to call a few local tree companies and get them to come out and look over your tree problem.

Dead trees, which are left standing for a long period of time, are dangerous because the structural wood supporting the tree's weight begins to decay. If dead trees are not removed in a timely manner they can become a hazard to people passing by and surrounding property.

Before removing a large tree from your property you should check with your city's by-laws to determine if a permit is required.

Significant tree service should always be performed by a qualified arborist.

Tree Problem

The good part about the tree service industry is that most tree companies will give you a free quote. Usually, they come out the next day or so, most visits come with some 'no charge' advice or a few free words of wisdom from someone with many years experience in the tree business.

Generally, best leave the big tree jobs to the professionals, especially when trees are in close proximity to valuables such as fences, garages, neighbors houses or high voltage hydro lines ... AFV and Youtube are great sources of what can go wrong on a DIY tree cutting weekend.

Tree Stump Removal Service

P.S. Cutting down an old tree is the easy part, getting rid of the stump is the hard part. Renting a tree stump grinder is a possibility, but expensive for just one tree. Better to pick a tree service company with a large tree stump grinder and all your tree removal problems will be solved at once.

A dead tree stump is usually alive with insects. These attract birds and other wildlife so you may want to consider leaving it in place.

Tree Disease

The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive species of beetle that feeds exclusively on ash trees.

Dutch Elm Disease is a fungal disease spread by the elm bark beetle. Dutch Elm Disease has wiped out millions of elm trees worldwide.

A single piece of firewood can destroy millions of trees.

Transporting firewood to your cottage or campsite allows invasive species, like the emerald ash borer, to spread causing widespread damage to trees and forests.

Purchase firewood locally and look out for pest infestation. Above all, you should avoid purchasing firewood cut from the ash tree.

Endangered Species of Trees

Some species of trees have been listed on CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) which is an international agreement between governments to ensure international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival.

Some types of trees that have been listed on CITES includes Spanish Cedar, Mahogany, Rosewood and Ebony.

Hardness of Wood

The Janka hardness test measures the force required to embed a 0.444 inch steel ball into wood. The higher the number the harder the wood
