Fruit: Flattened, dry legumes, brown, 2 to 4 inches long that contain flat, elliptical, brown seeds 1/4 inch long, maturing in late summer. Bark: Initially smooth and brown; later ridged and furrowed to scaly and dark gray; may have some maroon patches evident and orange in the cracks.

Bark: When young gray-brown with orange in fissures, later becoming much darker, breaking up into square scaly thick plates; reminiscent of charcoal briquettes (very unique). Form: A small to medium sized tree to 60 feet with a round-topped crown of crooked branches. RED = northern red oak (Hardwood tree) Fagaceae Quercus rubra L. Leaf: Alternate, simple, 5 to 8 inches long, oblong in shape with 7 to 11 bristle-tipped lobes, sinuses extend 1/3 to 1/2 of the way to midvein, generally very uniform in shape, dull green to blue-green above and paler below.

Fruit: Acorns are 3/4 to 1 inch long and nearly round; cap is flat and thick, covering about 1/4 or less of the acorn, resembling a beret; matures in 2 growing seasons, in late summer and fall. Bark: On young stems, smooth; older bark develops wide, flat-topped ridges and shallow furrows. Form: A medium sized to large tree that reaches up to 90 feet tall, develops a short trunk and round crown when open grown, straight with a clear, long bole when grown with competition. PURPLE = willow oak (Hardwood tree) Fagaceae Quercus Leaf: Alternate, simple, 2 to 5 inches long, linear or lanceolate in shape (willow-like) with an entire margin and a bristle tip.

  • Selecting Trees and Shrubs in Windbreaks
    Fall 2012 Selecting Trees and Shrubs in Windbreaks Windbreaks are plantings of single or multiple rows of trees or shrubs that are established for one or more environmental purposes. Purposes of windbreaks include: wind protection, controlling blowing and drifting snow, wildlife habitat establishment, energy saving, living screens, odor abatement and more. The effectiveness of a windbreak depends on suitable tree and shrub selection as well as planting density and spacing. This fact sheet offers information on tree and shrub species to consider in Minnesota windbreak plantings and a list of resources for technical and financial assistance. Tree and Shrub Selection: Windbreak tree and shrub selection is extremely important to insure an effective, long lasting planting. Plants need to be winter hardy and should have a positive history of plantings in the area suitable for the site and soils. Select multiple species of trees and shrubs, so if there is a failure in a row the windbreak is still effective for the purposes. A mix of deciduous and coniferous plants is recommended and should be based on the purpose of the planting. Many plants can offer potential income benefits such as edible, decorative, crafts, medicinal and specialty woods. As appropriate, first consider using native plants. Landowners should consult with area or County Soil and Water Conservation Districts/National Resources Conservation Service, Department of Natural Resource and Extension staff to get a recommended list of plants suitable for the area.

  • 150 Problem Set 4.Pdf
    CS103 Handout 15 Fall 2020 October 9, 2020 Problem Set 4 This fourth problem set explores set cardinality and graph theory. It serves as tour of the infinite (through set theory) and the finite (through graphs and their properties) and will give you a better sense for how discrete mathematical structures connect across these domains. Plus, you’ll get to see some pretty pictures and learn about why all this matters in the first place. Some of the questions on this problem set will assume you’ve read the online Guide to Cantor’s The- orem, which goes into more detail about the mechanics of the proof of Cantor’s theorem as well as some auxiliary definitions. Good luck, and have fun! Due Friday, October 16th at 12:00PM noon Pacific 2 / 6 Problem One: Cartesian Products and Set Cardinalities If A and B are sets, the Cartesian product of A and B, denoted A × B, is the set { (x, y) | x ∈ A ∧ y ∈ B }. Intuitively, A × B is the set of all ordered pairs you can make by taking one element from A and one ele- ment from B, in that order. For example, the set {1, 2} × {u, v, w} is { (1, u), (1, v), (1, w), (2, u), (2, v), (2, w) }. For the purposes of this problem, let’s have ★ and ☺ denote two arbitrary objects where ★ ≠ ☺. Over the course of this problem, we’re going to ask you to prove that |ℕ × {★, ☺}| = |ℕ|. i. Define a bijection f : ℕ × {★, ☺} → ℕ. The inputs to this function are elements of ℕ × {★, ☺}, so you can define your function by writing f(n, x) = ________________________ where n ∈ ℕ and x ∈ {★, ☺}.
