A. I think branches from birch trees are very pretty. Because of the white, they are different from other trees that grow in the Midwest.

Why are the branches falling off my oak?
Q. Ever since I moved to this house that has two hundred year-old oaks, I constantly have to pick up branches falling off. They fall off in pieces and the pieces look like small insects have been eating the inside. Last year we had a big gypsy moth infestation and they practically ate all the leaves off, but I wasn't too mad because the mountains of leaves the trees left behind the year before were a HUGE job to remove. Since then the branches seem to be falling off at a faster rate and we have fewer leaves growing in. Are these old oaks dying or is this normal.

What us army officer branches should my husband consider?
Q. My husband is 29 and trying to make the final decision on what officer branches to consider. He got his degree in Liberal arts (theater) and has been doing corporate mngmnt for 6 yrs. The recruiter told him to make a wishlist for what branches he might be interested in. He also said in the end it makes no difference what you want to do if you are an officer. They look at your degree and past experience and just put you wherever. Are there any areas he would be more qualified for?

A. Of course you can come along to MOST of the duty stations, if married you will be allowed to live on base/post or you would receive a housing allowance if you choose to live off base/post. If his orders state that the tour is accompanied you and kids are able to relocate with all expenses paid and that's the case with every branch.

A. Actually its called a Mealy bug. Dont fret you can beat it. They dont really look like bugs until closer (very closer) inspection. The easiest way to kick them is using a cotton ball or q-tip. Get Isopropyl alcohol, dip ball or Q-tip into it and touch the white things. At this point the white will desinegrate on contact and reveal the actual bug ( which will very quickly die) the white stuff is actually hundreds of microscopic babies living on the surface of the adult. Happy hunting!

Project ideas to show the 3 branches of our government?
Q. My 4th grader has a project due where she has to show the 3 branches of our government and the jobs of each branch. They want them to do a creative visual that shows these branches. For example I had an idea to do a tree and then hang from 3 branches the jobs, but she says a few people are already doing that and she wanted something different. She said a crutch (?) and labeling it, but I don'T have crutches. Another idea the teacher gave was a stool where the legs were named as the branches. Does anyone have any great ideas like this? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

A. I would do a mobile, because one of the most important aspects of the branches of government is that they balance each other. No one branch is allowed to control the others. In a mobile you could show this by showing that if you pull one of the parts, the whole mobile tilts and is no longer in balance. Good luck!

A. Executive - The President Legislative - Congress Judicial - The courts The executive guides strategy and manages the day to day operations of the government and military. and approves or veto's laws. The president also appoints the judges with the approval of congress. The congress controls the budget and passes legislation. The courts determine the whether the actions of the president and congress are allowable within the constitution and how the laws apply in specific instances. So the president proposes a program to give every American a bicycle. The congress writes a laws and offers funding.

How can I revive dead branches of a bonsai tree?
Q. About a year ago somewhat third part of its branches lost leaves and they still haven't grown again. I don't think the tree is dead because those branches that retained leaves still grow new ones, only those leafless don't... Could cutting off 'sick' branches help? P.S. I'm not sure what kind of a bonsai tree it is but it's a indoor one, about 40 centimeter tall, with prolonged leaves.
Asked by Aatami - Wed Jan 7 15:05:29 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can never revive a dead branch of any tree, bonsai or not. You test for actual deadness by bending the tip, and working down the branch bending to see if there is any green. If there isn't, the branch will snap off where bent, if there is, it will just bend (and snap back). You should, yes, prune any dead, of sick branching off to promote the overall health of the tree.

A. The only successful way I know is to split the under side of one of the branches wedging open cut with a piece of matchstick or wood. Cover the area with sphagnum moss and wrap the area with clear plastic, tape the top and bottom edges around branch to make a small hot house type thing. Leave for 4 to 6 months the unwrap and you should have roots coming on. Cut beneathe the roots and plant. Good luck.

What is the point of removing lower branches off trees?
Q. I live in a condominimum complex and there are a lot of tall, beautiful oak trees around. Recently, a treecutter crew came by removing some lower branches off the trees, making them look "empty" and now you can see much more trunk then before. It's much uglier in my opinion. Why did they remove those branches? They didn't seem to block anything or overhang anything they weren't dangereous branches at all! doesn't help keep the trunks straight, because 1. These are old tall oaks that dont bend. 2. They removed branches that seemed to "balance" the trees weight. branches that they cut weren't in anyone's window neither did it make grass easier to cut, because the branches are about 20 feel off the ground
Asked by rockability - Tue Jul 17 08:25:24 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In this case, it was probably just because somebody wanted more sunlight and the trees were blocking it. You say "they didn't seem to block anything" but trees always block sunlight from reaching somewhere at some time of day. They can also interfere with poles and wires above ground. If the branches are getting too near suspended cables (some of which can be a mere one storey off the ground if the building is taller than one storey), the council will take action and inform you that they are sending a crew around to trim back your trees. Well, the council where I live will, anyway.

A. Usually pruning will encourage new side growth but new growth will not occur where old branches were. Those areas are dead as far as new branches are concerned. It helps if you begin this process early in the plant's life.

A. I don't know where you live, but most cities I think have yard debris pick up every other week, or at least where I live does, Portland, Oregon, but we have a seperate can for yard debris only and all we do is put all yard debris in it, making sure that all branches are cut down to at least fit into the can, and put it out next to the garbage can and recycling bins every other week, and it works out quite well. You should call your garbage company and ask them if they have yard debris pick up and if so, how they suggest to properly prepare it.

A. The "branch bashing" is all done in good fun. It's a form of pride in one's own branch. We all fight for the same cause, and when it comes right down to it, we're all brothers in arms. I was stationed on a Naval base for 1.5 years during my tour in Cairo. I was Army, and spent a lot of time hanging out with the marines, and was even made an "honorary petty officer" for the Navy. There's no true animosity between the branches (not for those that aren't total morons, anyway). As a side-note, while stationed on the Navy base, myself and my Sargent loved the quarterly "unit runs." We'd spend the night before eating a jar of kimchee each, and drinking a fifth of rum. Then in the morning run, we'd get to the head of the line in front… [cont.]
