		Stage trees have a core of solid rocket fuel in their trunks that they ignite when mature to disperse their seeds.
		Particularly large stage trees are able to reach escape velocity and as a result have spread throughout the Milky Way galaxy in a form of panspermia.

		Trees are found in a broad spectrum of land-use systems, from planned and managed systems to naturally occurring stands.
		Tree collections held as seed are primarily for short-or medium-term storage for use in afforestation (the planting of trees in unforested areas) and reforestation activities.
		The number of tree species with clear potential for future use that could be managed in breeding or prebreeding operations is at least twice the number of species currently used, and their inclusion would quadruple the number of populations used.

		Owing to the many benefits provided to the community by trees, it is the intent of the board, in order to protect the air and water of Broward County, to preserve this valuable natural resource of Broward County for the health, safety and welfare of the general public.
		Trees with less than four and one-half (4-1/2) feet of clear trunk shall be measured as the diameter of the largest vertical branch or leader at breast height.
		If that replacement tree is found not to be viable at the end of the second yearly monitoring period, the licensee may pay the appropriate amount into the tree preservation trust fund as required by subsection N in lieu of planting a third replacement tree.

	TREES INTEGRAL PART OF WORCESTER STREET DESIGN - Christchurch City Council Media Release, 1997
		Trees were already cracking the footpath and would eventually damage the paved road and crowd the 20m wide street.
		The decision to remove the four trees was precipitated by the redesign of the street.
		Retaining the plane trees and Chinese elm until the lime trees were established would have detracted from the integrity of the new design and slowed the growth of the new trees.

		It’s a tough job, keeping trees alive in that environment, and the city is doing it well with public participation and ongoing efforts to provide even more urban trees.
		Trees are integral to “carbon sequestering,” defined as “a process whereby trees and other plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and through photosynthesis, turn it into plant material.” These “fixers” of carbon dioxide also produce “exhale” oxygen, which explains the rainforest’s nickname as the “Earth’s lungs.”

		By drawing people out of their homes, the trees created an opportunity for neighbors to interact and develop community relationships, Kuo said, noting that other studies have shown strong neighborhood ties contribute to better physical and mental health.
		Not only do they want trees, many said they want to be involved in planting and maintaining their landscapes, the researchers said.

		The Integral Trees is based on a unique premise—that a system could exist where the life zone comprised a torus of gas in a double star system.
		The integral tree is a hundred-kilometer long tree that orbits in the gas torus around one of the stars.
		A tribe at one end of the tree, the dry end, is running out of resources and sends a party to the other end, that is, tuft, of the tree to see if there are resources there to support the tree.

		Trees that overhang houses act as natural air conditioners, cutting the need for electric a/c, and therefore our use of polluting energy sources.

		Trees draw people out from behind walls of brick and glass, and in coming together, neighbors forge relationships, nurture children, and build a sense of community.
		People in buildings with trees knew and socialized more with neighbors from their buildings, had a stronger sense of community, and felt safer than people in buildings without trees.
		Of 150 residents interviewed, 14% of residents living in barren conditions have threatened to use a knife or gun against their children versus 3% for the residents living in green conditions.

	George Washington Tree Cloned for Arbor Day Plantings
		The family reasoned that the largest specimens of each tree species—so-called champion trees—may have the genes required to thrive in an urban environment, where the average life span for a nursery-grown tree planted today is just seven to ten years.
		Properly positioned trees of the right type can shade a house and significantly reduce the energy required for cooling—a saving not only on the monthly electricity charge but also in the resources that the community uses to build power stations.
		Trees protect and conserve a huge range of biodiversity, helping filter streams and rivers and trapping carbon emitted into the air by smokestacks and exhaust pipes.

		Such trees would boost large-scale hardwood tree farming by allowing tree farmers to kill weeds that threaten to choke out young plantation trees without damaging the trees themselves.
		If such improved trees eventually emerge, the center will be able to use simple biotechnology to produce millions of cloned seedlings for planting in the America's central hardwood region.
		The best and biggest trees are typically taken during periodic harvests, and that could fuel the gradual decline in the size of hardwoods reaching the marketplace, said Paul Houghland Jr., executive manager of the National Hardwood Lumber Association.

		It’s not a stretch of the imagination to consider that trees are one of the defining elements of a city landscape, which makes a nickname like The Maple City a source of pride and accomplishment.
		Trees provide shade, shelter and intangible benefits, such as the physical manifestation of grandeur and a demonstration of nature’s constancy.
		Trees are integral part of the Hoosier celebration of the four seasons, although homeowners with many trees may rather think about spring instead of autumn with its abundance of fallen leaves.

		The goal of the study is to make the planting and maintaining of trees as integral a part of city planning as decisions about buildings, streets and sidewalks, Moll said.
		Williams told reporters that he is determined to remake the District into a "city of trees," as it was known in the 1920s.

		They need to see leaves from their windows, to sit in green spaces, and to play in the shade.
		More often, however, people live in areas the researchers describe as barren no-man’s lands, moonscapes, or urban deserts, where unrelieved stretches of concrete, asphalt, brick, and glass are testimony to the opinion that trees are luxuries the city cannot afford.
		Their data show that planting more trees to create a more fit environment in urban areas could yield savings measured in fewer calls to police, less strain on social services, and reduced demand for medical services.

	City Trees
		Covering four centuries of development in the cities of Europe and America, this book shows how trees became integral to urban landscapes by looking at the historical evolution of the spaces in which they were planted and how these spaces were used.
		Reflecting on the impact trees have had on what many consider to be the fundamental aspects of city life—people, buildings, social and economic activity—Lawrence draws on graphic materials, written descriptions, local histories, and archival research to provide a unique look at the treeís role in urban landscape history.
		Primarily concerned with aesthetics, power, and national traditions, Lawrence reflects on the differing impacts city trees have had on multiple aspects of culture, from their roles as symbols and their representation of economic prosperity to the differing ways nations planted their trees, which gradually blended into an international style of urban planting.

		Chestnut trees were integral to everyday life in Appalachia, Case said, where they were called "cradle to grave" trees: Craftsmen made baby cradles and coffins from the rot-resistant hardwood.
		The trees were also used to build houses, telephone poles, and railroad ties.
		So far the effort has produced a couple dozen trees on an experimental farm that are highly resistant to the blight fungus.

		Transgenic trees can also be used to clean-up environmental pollutants, becoming not only a component of a healthy environment but also a tool for creating one.
