A single tallow tree can produce nearly 100,000 viable seeds annually that can remain in the soil for several years before sprouting. A mature stand can produce 4,500 kilograms of seeds per hectare per year. [17] These seeds are easily carried to different places by birds and water. Tallow trees can remain productive for 100 years.

The leaves can be mistaken for those of the catalpa. The very fragrant flowers, large and violet-blue in colour [ 14 ] are produced before the leaves in early spring, on panicles 10–30 centimetres (4–12 in) long, with a tubular purple corolla 4–6 centimetres ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long resembling a foxglove flower.
Leaf flushing succeeds leaf fall, and is delayed by winter in the temperate zone or by extreme dryness in the tropics. Leaf fall and leaf flushing in tropical deciduous forests can overlap in some species, called leaf-exchanging species, producing new leaves during the same period when old leaves are shed or almost immediately after.
Ahh, the bright oranges and fire-engine reds that crowd the trees are so tempting and idyllic for that must-take photo of the trees. But the window to enjoy the fall colors is tight this year.
Spring in temperate deciduous forests is a period of ground vegetation and seasonal herb growth, a process that starts early in the season before trees have regrown their leaves and when ample sunlight is available. Once a suitable temperature is reached in mid- to late spring, budding and flowering of tall deciduous trees also begins.
While ground bay leaves are believed in traditional medicine to be a cure for certain diseases and health issues, researchers say there isn't enough evidence to prove they offer real benefits.
Young shoots and leaves, raw, older leaves also cooked; a local specialty in parts of the Mediterranean region [44] Chickweed Stellaria media: Worldwide, as an annual in colder climates, and a perennial evergreen elsewhere Stems and leaves, raw or cooked [45] Dandelion: Taraxacum officinale: Native to Eurasia, naturalized elsewhere
Rabbits and rodents can cause injury to the thin bark and twigs of young trees. When snow covers food sources normally sought during winter, these animals often move into home lawns in search of food.
