People have been climbing on my tree.I guess that it is fun to climb on! I still have'nt figured out what type of tree it is,though.I hate climbing trees, but I did to see something I could'nt see at the bottom.This is what I saw:I SAW A NEW LEAF!!! It was barely visible to me.Now I am working on observing the new leaf.

119V
3/15/2013 07:13:59 am

119o

119q
3/12/2013 09:06:01 am

119s
3/14/2013 08:16:51 am

119q

119s
3/18/2013 08:43:05 am

Two feet,at least.

119i
3/13/2013 09:59:22 am

My tree does not have any buds yet.

I noticed that the tree had a branch that had broken off but it was stuck on the other branches and had not fallen to the ground.

My tree has branches and a trunk. It also has roots that I can see because they are partially above the ground. The tree also has poles in it that is keeping the tree up.

My tree is very, very, very tall. I don't think I can measure how tall it is. I could measure how wide the trunk is at the bottom.

119E
3/14/2013 07:04:25 am

There are BUDS! They are yellow. The bark is shiny. The bark is pinkish-brown.

119t

Shiny bark?That must be interesting.

3/14/2013 07:13:25 am

This week I noticed that my tree has more red buds in it. It is starting to have tiny leaves. I think it is as tall as the lamp post in front of it. Cherico has a thick, brown bark, a lot of branches and red buds. I also observed that part of its roots were seen outside.

119q
3/14/2013 10:38:42 am

119w

119h
3/14/2013 08:38:12 am

My tree has not grown since last week.

One thing I noticed is that a nest is in my tree.

On the ends of each branch tiny red buds have begun to form.
My tree has a thicker trunk than most trees.

119U
3/14/2013 08:45:44 am

No, there are no changes in the tree.
No, there are no differences.
The branches are very long. The roots and trunk are really thick.
No, I have no new thoughts.
I can use measuring tape or use my house as a guide.


119s
3/14/2013 09:06:49 am

My tree has not changed yet.

119G
3/14/2013 09:19:42 am

yellowish red buds that are new.
my tree has twisty branches,thick trunk that is brownish gray,redish orange buds.
Measure how wide trunk is with a ruler. It would be hard to measure the height because it is very tall.

119q
3/14/2013 10:43:27 am

is it taller than your house?

119q
3/14/2013 10:45:28 am

119w
3/14/2013 09:40:03 am

I noticed there are grasses surrounding the tree, an extended root, and a hole in one of the branches, the bark is falling off and the cambium is showing.

Guess why trees lose their color in the winter?Because they lose their choryphll!!!I I learned that choryphll is a nutrient that comes from the soil;"leaf paint" I would call it.I hope you enjoyed this fact Mrs.Gilbert & Mrs.Brubach!!!

Chlorophyll is located and produced in the chloroplasts in plant cells; plants do not 'get' chlorophyll, they produce it themselves.

The buds on my tree are getting bigger and I think it will start
growing leaves soon.

119n
3/17/2013 10:32:50 am

There are buds on my tree to!!

A change in my tree is that some of the leaves are starting to turn brown. Another thing I noticed is that the leaves have veins that are sort of like the branches on a tree! The leaves are kind of in the shape of a big sock or a big shoe. When you touch it you will feel that it kind of feels like leather. The leaves colors are green and brown (obviously). The leaves are about the size of a big water bottle and grow in clumps. It looks like there are twigs between the leaves and the branch. Other parts of my tree are the trunk, which starts to split into branches near the ground. The bark is smooth and dark grayish brown. You can’t see the roots. The branches are skinny. There are buds that are starting to pop up between the leaves, witch means that flowers are going to come. The buds are small and pretty fuzzy. They are almost the size of my fingernail. It looks like the buds are not completely attached to the branch. I don’t think my tree grew much maybe not at all .I assume this because when I looked from the second floor window it looked like the tree barley grew an inch! Humans aren’t the best estimators, but it did not look like it grew. Another way I could have measured my tree is by using a tape measurer, but it would probably break, and even if it didn’t, it still would have taken too long. To measure my tree you could look at the building near it and see how many floors it gets to. (The strategy I used.)

My observations are that buds are everywhere on my tree.The branches are a different color than the trunk.I like to climb it.

119t
3/17/2013 10:07:24 pm

I bet the tree grew more than an inch.
