do slippery elms grow abnormaly
by: Filip Drozd
Most trees including the slippery elm can grow abnormally. When you see a tree that has two separate trunks but the top is fine that means that two trees grew abnormally. I am guessing that abnormal growth is triggered when the seed or sapling is damaged.

do all elm trees grow fruit or flowers
Elm trees grow reddish-brown buds that produce green blossoms. But this depends on the tree of course. Not all elm trees grow flowers and this also goes for fruit. If the tree does grow fruit then it looks like small, flat, green pouches.
If a tree does not have seed pods or fruit then the trees spread through the pollen which the animals transport. | |
Our tree is deciduous. What will happen to it in the winter?
In the winter the leaves fall off the trees. This happens because the fluid in the leaves cannot move to the tree. The leaves fall of the trees also to help them survive the winter because the leaves have tiny holes that drain fluid from the tree but if the tree did not clog those holes in the tree it would lose all the fluid and die.
The trees also do this because the leaves that fall carry pollen and in the wind pollen moves farther without the leaves to get in the way. This helps spread the population to different places. sources: http://earthsky.org/earth/why-do-trees-shed-their-leaves http://www.judithsecco.com/img/s1/v20/p85421984-3.jpg http://www.devontreeservices.co.uk/files/297267_7_single_blossoming_tree_in_spring.crop.jpg http://www.psychologytoday.com/files/u691/winter_tree_leaves_alone.jpg http://inmannews.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/files/imagefield/shutterstock_86273293_AUTUMN_OAK_TREE.jpg | |
