Southpinellas: For tree-planting mayor, an appropriate honor Members of the Champion Tree Project, an urban forestry initiative that clones the largest specimen of each tree type and plants the clones in urban areas, praised the mayor for his commitment to landscaping and tree-growing projects throughout the city.

John Seiler, a professor of tree physiology and silviculture at Virginia Tech University, said a tree's growth is determined by its genetic makeup and by less predictable environmental factors like availability of water and protection from wind. www.sptimes.com /News/031101/news_pf/SouthPinellas/For_tree_planting_may.shtml   (450 words)
