How big do avocado trees get Title: Size and Height of Full-Grown Avocado Trees Meta description: Avocado trees grow large, but you can grow smaller ones by pruning or planting a dwarf variety. Click here for details on avocado tree size and height. Most types of avocado tree naturally grow to a large size and height. Because of their large size, avocado trees need plenty of room around them to thrive and produce fruit. However, there are two ways of growing smaller avocado trees. --The…

variety Modern, Khursheed, Ansari, and Shahab studied caffeine’s effect on the Common Sunflower. Seeds of the Helianthus annuus L. variety Modern (the Common Sunflower) were raised with caffeine concentrations from .05-2% to test the mature plant height, days to maturity, yield parameters, and the height on the 30th day of sowing. As a result, seeds treated with a lower dose had a stimulatory effect while seeds treated with a higher dose had an inhibited effect (Khursheed and Ansari et al…

A Turtle and Some Beans Anais Nin, a renowned author, once wrote, “And the day came when the risk to remain a tight bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” (“Quotes About Growth”). In the story, The Bean Trees, by Barbara Kingsolver, the courage to bloom is one of the many themes. Taylor, a young woman travelling westward, is unwillingly given a child.

For this assignment I interviewed Todd Metevia the Head grower at Timbuk Farms in Granville, Ohio. Timbuk Farms is a retail and wholesale grower and distributor. The crop I decided to question about was Coleus. They produce plugs of Coleus that are then sold wholesale to other nurseries. Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides) is a commonly grown ornamental plant due to its attractive foliage. Coleus is native to subtropical and tropical areas of Asia and Australia. Although not grown for flowers…

The purpose of this lab activity was to observe the effects that salt has on seed germination, plant growth, and flower production. Similar to humans, plants have vital needs that must be fulfilled in order to grow. Light, water, air, nutrients, and proper temperature all affect plant growth. The importance of these necessities differs widely among plants but are vital nonetheless. Plant health also relies heavily on what scientists refer to as the limiting factor. This concept correlates the…

not lose too much of your respect and promise that this will not happen again. What does it take for something to grow? The main answers are things like water, air, and nutrients; but, the main thing that sparks the chemical reactions within every seed is light. A little light can go a long way, not only in plants but in people. The Greek Enlightenment is something that has never been seen before where... “In that black and fierce world a little centre of white-hot spiritual energy was at…

The original hypothesis, “If ascorbic acid has positive effects on radish seed germination, then radish seeds germinated with ascorbic acid concentrations of 0, 100, 300, and 500 parts per million (ppm) solutions will exhibit longer seed radicles (measured in millimeters) than control seeds germinated in distilled water alone” was incompletely supported. For example, Graph 1 shows the Control trial achieved the greatest average length (31.5 mm) by the end of the experiment in comparison to all…
