The Majesty of Trees: Guardians of Our Landscape
Ancient Giants
Some trees live for thousands of years.
California's General Sherman sequoia
stands 275 feet tall and is over 2,000
years old, while baobab trees in Africa
can reach 6,000 years.
Climate Heroes
A single mature tree absorbs 48 pounds
of CO2 annually and produces enough
oxygen for two people. Forests regulate
temperature and prevent soil erosion
worldwide.
Biodiversity Hubs
Oak trees alone support over 500
species of butterflies and moths. Cherry
blossoms provide crucial early nectar
for pollinators emerging from winter.
Growing Together: Care Tips & Further Exploration
Sunlight & Soil
Most flowers need 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and
well-draining soil. Trees require deeper soil and benefit
from mulching around their base.
Watering Wisdom
Water deeply but less frequently to encourage strong
root systems. Spring and fall are ideal planting seasons
for both flowers and trees.
Seasonal Care
Prune trees in late winter, deadhead flowers regularly,
and prepare gardens for winter by adding compost and
protective mulch.
