	State Tree and Flower
		All of the state trees, except the Hawaii state tree, are native to the state in which they are designated.
		Many of the state flowers are from other parts of the world and were chosen because of their beauty or importance, not because they represent the natural flora of the state they represent.
		the Southern Magnolia, Magnolia grandiflora, as the state tree.

	Grove of State Trees
		Groves planted on 30 acres of rolling terrain celebrate the diversity and importance of trees to all fifty states and the District of Columbia.
		Along with grassroots concerns about preservation of forests and trees came a natural pride in a part of the local flora, and the concept of a state tree was born.
		We cannot successfully grow a few of the state trees such as the cabbage palmetto, which is the state tree of South Carolina, or the kukui, which is Hawaii's state tree.

	Pruning stone fruit trees Colorado State University Tri River Area
		Young trees are pruned (or trained) to establish a strong scaffold (main branch) system of wide-angled, well-spaced branches capable of supporting large crops with a minimum of branch breakage.
		To overcome the peach tree's habit of producing bearing wood further and further from the trunk, retain a few young branches on the inner parts of the tree.
		After a plum tree begins bearing, an annual thinning out of water sprouts and branches growing toward the center of the tree is recommended.

	Staking and Guying Trees, HYG-1141-94
		Unstaked trees also had greater trunk taper, meaning that the trunk increased in diameter more rapidly, and were lower in overall height while having bigger root systems.
		Trees up to five inches in trunk diameter are normally supported by guying with the wires attached to stakes, these guy wires spaced at 120-degree angles (Fig.
		Trees over five inches in diameter are guyed in the same ways as suggested for trees three to five inches in diameter, except that the guy wires are anchored to the soil with the use of earth anchors or deadmen.

		Environmentalists contend that the state should not log trees in state forests at all because the roads that have to be built and the machinery that must be used to cut down even one tree affects entire forests.

	Topping Trees Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Tri River Area
		The process known as topping is the indiscriminate removal of a tree's crown, cutting off large branches and the main stem of the tree, leaving large branch stubs.
		In fruit growing areas, where orchard trees are topped on a yearly basis to keep them at a height for the easy harvest of fruit, area residents often mistakenly believe this same technique should be used on ornamental trees as well.
		The cylinder of rot that develops in the tree is often the same diameter as the main stem that was removed.

		In response, state agriculture officials have issued a quarantine on all ash trees and timber products in the affected counties to help prevent and control the spread of this pest.
		Under this quarantine, ash trees, branches, logs, and firewood may not be moved outside the affected area unless certified for movement by the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA).
		Their appearance typically goes undetected until the trees show symptoms of being infested – usually the upper third of a tree will thin and then die back.
