Flowering and Ornamental Trees



Trees can be flowering trees, fruit trees, shade trees, ornamentals etc. Some attractive medium height flowering trees or ornamental trees would be ideal for a home garden. Trees take a number of years to mature. In the first year, remove weak or unruly shoots. In the second or third year remove poorly spaced branches, leaving alone the central trunk. Once they settle, trees need to be watered only once in a while. But the watering should be deep and applied directly to the soil. Shade trees and ornamentals grow on a framework of older branches and need only infrequent maintenance pruning. Prune only dead, diseased or damaged wood or when you need to correct a poor shape. Flowering trees can be pruned after flowering or fruition.

Creepers and Climbers

Creepers: These plants can be grown along the top of the compound wall or as a cover for walls, or at the entrance as an arch.

Climbers: These are the plants with soft stems that grow only with a support. They rely on something else for support; another plant, a wall or trellis.

Bulbs

A bulb is a specific stem structure which is planted beneath the soil and stays underground. Roots grow down from it, and stem and leaves grow up from it. Most bulb plants have a dormant (resting) period during which there is no growth visible. Bulb plants grow, flower, then the leaves remain for sometime and disappear completely until next year. They are easy to grow and guaranteed to bloom.

3. Aspirin is made from salicylic acid, which was originally derived from the willow (in Latin, ‘salix’) tree.

4. Conifers are a group of trees and shrubs that produce cones. Most conifers are evergreens, or trees that keep their leaves year-round. Elms are deciduous, meaning they lose their leaves.

5. The spruce is a conifer, with needles instead of leaves. It does not lose those needles, whereas a deciduous tree sheds its leaves in fall.

6. Deciduous trees shed their leaves in the fall. Often they change color, to yellow or red, before they shed.

7. Most trees cannot live on tide-drenched seashores because their roots cannot get air from the wet soil. The mangrove, however, takes air into its vinelike roots through their pores.

AttributiveClauses

(Определительные придаточные предложения)

 

Определительные придаточные предложения относятся к существительному или местоимению в главном предложении и являются его сложным определением (какой?).По значению и способу соединения определительные придаточные предложения делятся на:

 

Индивидуализирующие Описательные
  The man who wants to buy my housecame again yesterday. Описывают индивидуальный признак предмета или лица. Не отделяются запятой.   A man, who said he knew my father, came to see me yesterday. Служат для сообщения дополнительной информации или описания лица или предмета. Отделяются запятой.

 

Придаточное предложение Союзы, союзные слова Перевод Примеры
  Определительное (Attributive) who that   which   whom whose который который   который   которого чей The man who normally works here is ill. Have you seen the dress that I’ve just bought? Have you read the book which I gave you? I know the man whom you mean. Our sister whose photo I showed you, is coming tomorrow.

 

Обратите внимание!

В определительных придаточных предложениях относительные местоимения, выполняющие функцию дополнения, часто опускаются:

The man (who) I saw yesterday is ill.

В придаточных предложениях относительные местоимения, выполняющие функции подлежащего, не опускаются:

The man who normally works here is ill.

Если в придаточном предложении сказуемым является глагол с предлогом relyon, speakabout, passby,etc., то при пропуске союзного слова предлог передвигается в конец придаточного предложения:

The woman who we buy eggs from has twenty hens.

В формальном стиле предлог обычно стоит перед относительным местоимением. Вэтомслучаеthatнеиспользуется:

The success of the bread can depend on the oven in which it is baked (инструкция).

Where, when, whyмогут также вводить определительные придаточные предложения:

We visited the town where I was born.

There must be a reason why you said that.

It was last year when we met.
