Week # 3 - The Community, The Environment and Trees

3/18/2013

 
For this week, continue to make basic observations of your tree. However also think about how you think your tree might contribute to the environment it's a part of and the human community around it?

Have you observed any changes or something new about your tree since last time?
How is your tree a part of it's surroundings?
How is your tree good for the environment around it (other plants, soil, animals, water, etc.)?
How is your tree good for the human community around it?
Are there new thoughts you have about your tree based on what we discussed in class?

Comment with your room number as assigned letter.

Comments were already closed for weeks 1 and 2, so we are adding them here. The proper Week 3 comment will follow later in the week. Week 1: My tree is located in my front yard on the 4600 block of Larchwood Ave. It is about 12 feet tall but needs some pruning on top. It has lots of branches with light brown bark that is pretty smooth. It has big fury q-tip like buds. The tree is between the street and my house with some other bushes and small trees near it.I chose it because it has buds and is in the center of my front garden.
Week 2: The tree seems to have grown a little and the buds are getting bigger.I noticed some white spots on the new thin branches. It still doesn't haven any leaves.I could measure it using my dad and a long stick. I also could use a long tape measure.

Week 1: My tree is on the corner of Springfield and 46th Street.My tree is so tall I need to look up into the sky to see the top of it and it does not have any leaves on it. My tree is surrounded by sidewalks, streets, and houses. I chose this tree because it looks awesome.

Week 2: I did not see any changes. At the bottom of my tree it is really fat but it is skinny at the top.

Week 3:My tree is surrounded by dirt and the sidewalk. It can help birds when they build a nest for their home. My tree helps the people by giving off oxygen. There are no problems happening with my tree. The tree is budding.

This week, nothing really changed with my tree. Probably because it was so cold outside. My tree does not have any leaves yet, so it cannot produce oxygen. Sometimes, squirrels climb my tree.
I think that my tree makes you smile when you are sad.

My tree is a plant like everything else in the garden. It benefits things around it by letting out oxygen. It benefits the human community with its leaves sucking in the air that we don't breathe. One problem is that it will be taking up a lot of space and other plants cannot grow that easily. We may have to move it to another part of the yard where it will have more room.
There are a few more buds on the tree. It has spiky sprouts.
