Grows

Question: What kind of tree grows fast and would be good in my backyard in Georgia? I need suggestions for a fast growing tree to put in my backyard for shade. It will get full sun. I'd like something that grows relatively fast. I live an hour west of Atlanta. And please don't say pine because I hate them. Thanks!! :)

Answer: May I suggest that you do a search on the "Paulownia" tree. It is a fast growing tree that has been brought to the US for its promise of good wood. It has large leaves (dinner plate size) and makes a pretty good shade. I have one in my back yard that is about 3 years old and it is 15-20 feet tall. It does lose its leaves in the fall and has an abundance of blooms in the spring. The only bad side to it is that it comes back from the root system if you decide to cut it down. That is why it was brought in to start with ~ plant once, harvest the tree for lumber, and then it will start over without having to be replanted. This could be a little frustrating if you want it gone. I suppose you need to see how to kill it before you plant it, just in case. I like mine so it didn't bother me to have these qualities. EDIT When I lived in south Ga. we had a major problem with caterpillars that caused us to cut down our Mimosa trees. They do have beautiful flowers but small, brown, fuzzy caterpillars don't make good house guest. I'm not talking about a few, MAJOR PROBLEMS!!!

Question: Does anyone know of a sunflower that grows a bud at every node? Is that weird? I grew a bunch of sunflowers and two of them started growing multiple heads off of one stem. And it is not a flower that buds off of another stem....it grows directly out of the internodes. I just thought that was really weird and I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. Any help would be much appreciated, I am so so curious.

Answer: All plants will do that, especially trees. Sometimes it's genetic, or caused by beetles and diseases. However, it's not unhealthy.

Question: When your teen sim grows up can they still be in a relationship? My teen sim Ratna is a teen and is about to grow up. She met some guy named Sean Wren and they're going steady and stuff. When she grows up will he grow up too or will he be just a teen? And if he doesn't grow up does Ratna need to meet a new guy?

Answer: If it's the Sims 2 then no. He will not grow up with her and she will not be in a relationship with him for he is to young. I don't know about the Sims 3. Though you can use the boolprop cheat and add him the the "family" then he will start aging. Press CTRL + SHIFT + C Enter boolprop testingcheatsenabled true. Then press enter. Right click on the sim and add him to the "family." They can get married if you want once they grow up if you like.

Question: What plant grows faster; Arabidopsis, mongo seeds, or been seeds? I have a science fair project and I need a plant that grows fast so that I may see results within a few weeks. (I am planning on using gravity to alter the way these plants grow - any ideas on how I should do this?)

Answer: Arabidopsis will grow very quickly. Just out of curiosity, how will you be altering gravity? Unless you have a vacuum or some way of increasing the gravitational field around your plants, that might be rather difficult. If you are referring to gravitropism, that might be a bit easier. You can show that roots and shoots will grow towards the ground and sky, respectively, simply by turning the plantlets after a few days of growth. I would recommend germinating seeds and letting the shoots grow for about a week, then turning the pot/agar to the side, and allowing the shoots to continue growing for at least a week. You should notice a distinct curve in the plants stem as the shoots grow upright. If you are working in an agar, you should notice the roots curving down towards the earth as well.

Question: What type of tree grows in clay, grows a lot the first few years and needs little water? I need a tree type that grows well in dry conditions in clay. It also needs to grow a noticeable amount in the first three years of like and will eventually provide lots of shade. I live in the piedmont region in North Carolina

Answer: I like the look of an Ash tree. White Ash Fraxinus americana. Native. It can tolerate drought, poor drainage, clay, and low temperature plus it has amazing Fall color, it goes a sort of blended, tonal purple red that glows with color. The leaves are small & compound so are easy to clean up especially with seedless varieties of white ash such as ‘Rosehill’ or ‘Autumn Purple’. The tree is only moderately rapid growing though it does get a pleasing oval shape very young. Does not mind winter wet if the soil has drainage but does not like very hot, prolonged dryness like the south west offers. This tree is used a lot as a city sidewalk tree in Seattle. http://www.hort.net/gallery/view/ole/fraam/ http://woodyplants.nres.uiuc.edu/plant/fraamwc http://woodyplants.nres.uiuc.edu/plant/fraamaa The introduced Lacebark Elm (Ulmus parvifolia) is fast-growing and hardy.The tree makes a handsome ornamental with showy bark. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/trees-new/ulmus_parvifolia.html Either the Pin Oak (Quercus palustris) or the Willow Oak (Quercus phellos) offer fast growth with a well shaped tree. http://www.hort.uconn.edu/Plants/q/quepal/quepal1.html http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/trees-new/quercus_palustris.html http://www.hort.uconn.edu/Plants/q/quephe/quephe1.html http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/trees-new/quercus_phellos.html Honeylocust Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis. This is a thornless cultivar, with small leaflets that do not require raking. This make it a very popular street side tree. It is a bright yellow in fall. This one is the fastest growing and a bit safer to be around than most poplars. Bees love this tree, in June when it blooms it hums. It is also fragrant. The problem with fast growing trees is they drop limbs. http://www.hort.uconn.edu/plants/g/gletri/gletri1.html http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/trees-new/gleditsia_triacanthos.html

Question: How much does hair grown per day? Everytime I have a haircut within 1 week it grows a lot? Compared to everyone else, it grows like I got miracle grown on my head.

Answer: The average hair grows at about 0.44mm per day. However as an individual this depends on a lot of things, race, age, your health, type, natural colour etc. Like for instance when I was a teenager I would have to get a haircut every 6 weeks or so. Now I am nearly 70 I only need one about 3/4 months. My hormones have slowed down!

Question: Has anyone ever seen a lemon tree that grows two types of lemons? I have a lemon tree in my backyard that grows two types of lemons. The first is the regular lemon one can buy at the supermarket. The second is one that is 3x to 5x larger than the first. I just find it weird that a tree could produce two types of lemons.

Answer: Volkamer Lemon (or Volkameriana) is often used as a rootstock for dooryard citrus trees. You probably have a Meyer Lemon grafted onto a Volkamer Lemon rootstock. Volkamer Lemon is bad about having sprouts from the rootstock (sprouts from below the graft union), which in your case have gotten large enough to bear fruit. The Volkamer Lemon fruit are large and "knobby" looking. They are perfectly good to eat, if you like the flavor. Some people like to use the juice in barbeque sauce. The only reason this rootstock is used is because it makes a vigorous, fast growing tree. It takes less growing time for the nurseryman to produce a tree for cost conscious, big box stores.

Question: What grows first during a growth spurt at 17? What grows first during a growth spurt at 17? The penis or the rest of body? I am wondering because recently I grew 3/4 of an inch down 'there', but I haven't grown in height,hands or feet. Plz answer. BTW I grew from 5 inches erect to 5 and 3/4 and no I didn't measure wrong, I always measure my maximum erections.

Answer: Uhm, it all depends on the person. And you're kinda a late bloomer, so expect an increase rapidly in those things.

Question: What kind of evergreen tree or tall shrub grows well in the shade? I want to plant something between my house and the neighbors for privacy that will stay green year round. I'm looking for something that is a fast grower and grows well in the shade. I'm in zone 7 (N. Georgia). Thank you!

Answer: Shade in zone 7 - as a faster growing alternate to the holly and as something that will take the shade better than the junipers or pines, I would recommend Photinias aka Red Tips. These grow quickly and like heat. They grow just fine here (zone 7b) and they are often found between houses. They are a member of the rose family, meaning that they can get black-spot, so be sure they have some air movement around them. I stopped mine from having black spot by cutting off the bottom 48" of leaves once they were about 8' tall - you just keep removing leavs or suckers that form in the lower area - blackspot is a soil-borne disease, so if the soil cannot splash up on the leaves, they will not get back spot. I just unse Nandinas for the lower 48" in the areas where I want coverage all the way to the ground and it is in shade. It does hold it's glossy leaves all year and it is very dense.

Question: What happens to the flower that grows on the fruit trees then the fruits grows in? Im just wondering.Because some fruits trees and other kinds have flowers growing before the fruits.But when the fruits grows what happens to flower?
