How do trees grow and develop?

Trees have been on planet Earth for approximately 370 million years, and over time they've developed some incredible methods to growing, communicating, and being resilient to nature's challenges. How do trees grow?

It all starts with the seed. Trees have many methods for dispersing seeds, which can range from simply dropping them on the ground, using wind, or even getting a helping hand from animals and insects.

Once settled, tree seeds often have a long period of “dormancy," followed by germination, and ultimately transformed into a young tree with a true stem, wood, bark and leaves.

The leaves of a tree also absorb light through a process called photosynthesis. When conditions become too cold or too dry, growth slows down and the tree sprouts protective waterproof buds around these zones. Finally, when a tree is old enough to release its own seeds, the cycle repeats!

Many tree species can live for hundreds or thousands of years. While they are subject to old age, death usually occurs due to external stressors such as floods, fires, strong winds, poor soil, and human intervention.
This fascinating process is just one of the many reasons why we love trees.

I love planting trees. If my yard was bigger, I'd plant more.

Cannot understand why presenters feel the necessity of incorporating loud irritating music during a video.

Edible wilderness project ultimate failure was exactly how it currently was

Good video. My graduation class of 2000 planted trees in front of our high school.

Jagadish Chandra Bose has done a pioneering work in this field.

Plant 1 billion extra if not more trees, I love trees!

[michelsilva]

very good, but dosent explain does where come from the mass of the tree. the material which the tree are made come out from where? from the soil or from the air ?? thanks

[crzyprplayak]

Awesome job on this video I really enjoyed and appreciated it!

[chandimahettigedara]

I have a small space, but I am struggling to plant trees in it

[aussiedrones]

So are trees unlimited or do trees take something away from earth? Like mining oil, the oil runs out. Does cutting down a tree take something away from earth?

How much did you pay for this to pop up for anyone who searched a prompt with the word tree in it.

[charissahanks]

I love trees. It makes me cry every time I see them getting cut done for something dumb.

Why was bamboo shown in the last clip - it is a grass!!!

I've recently had a thought abou plants relationship to animals, so they say classical might have a better effect on plants growth rather than say hip hop or metal, so my thought is that birds are almost classical, and humans and things that are dangerous to plants tend to make sounds like hip hop, as in vocalizations of apes and humans and such, and metal is like earthquakes, lightning, mudslides, and rushing water, so my thoughts are that trees are aware of sound, and the frequencies possibly, but not able to actually hear the sound, so if those the case my next thought is do trees grow bigger where there are more birds and bugs (pollinators) and smaller where there is more hardships? I'm really intrigued by this, and can't really find a firm answer anywhere, my thinking is lightning is not good for a tall tree if hit, so trees may stay smaller in order to protect themselves from such events, and grow taller as to have pollinators see it more clearly, amd I wondered if sound was a correlating factor, I've heard on the gallapagos there is a family of trees that has rapidly evolved due to the high levels of radiation there from the volcanic activities, similarly finches of the area have evolved rapidly in to smaller seperated sub groups, and in areas where the birds are plentiful the trees are taller and produce brighter fruits, and in the areas where finches are less plentiful or the certain sub group has evolved to eat less fruit and more bugs, they grow shorter as to gain the birds attention while they look for bugs, and other land creatures aswell, so as to most effectively spread there seeds

The background music is annoying, distracting and takes over the narration.
