Leaves

Why do Leaves Change Colors?
The best conditions for a beautiful autumn are just enough moisture and declining but not freezing temperatures. However, the colors are really based on day length.

Consider planting a fruit tree in your yard. There are miniture trees for even the tiniest yard and large ones if you have acres.

The Treetures
The Treeture family will show you how to plant trees and take care of them. Watch the animated gif as the forest changes with the seasons. A very imaginative site I think you'll really enjoy.

Projects

How to Hang a Tire Swing
A tire swing is a simple, inexpensive, old-fashioned addition to the kids play area that even adults can enjoy. Let's put one together. You will of course need a tree or appropriate support to hang your tire swing from.

Tree House Page
The kids kept bringing it up from time to time, and my response was always, "Yes, I will build it." Well, I finally decided that I wasn't going to come across a huge bonus of free time, so I had better just get started on it.

Uses

Did You Ever Eat a Pine Tree?
The eastern Indians favored the barks from the pine family, especially that from the white pine, although the inner barks of other trees, such as black birch and slippery elm, were relished.

Drive-thru Trees
Did you know that in California there are trees so big that you can drive a car or even a camper right through a tunnel carved in the base? It's true! I've been through several. Useful for parting tourists from their loose change!
