I'm a Midwest kid and was wondering if trees (like maple or oak) die in hot, sunny places like FL or Calif.?

Answer 1

I live in DeLand, Florida where the city slogan is Tree City USA. You have to get special permits here to cut down any tree so everyone has trees in their yards. Laural Oaks, Water Oaks, Silk Oaks, Turkey Oaks, etc. from well established 50' trees to saplings. (The record is ia 83' tall found in Branford, Florida.)Turkey Oaks are my favorite and they grow on approx 9 -10 million acres of land in Florida.

As for maple trees, I have a beautiful Florida Red Maple.

It may be very hot here in Florida, but our water table is very high so trees have no problem surviving here.

Hope this answers your question. Look us up on the internet.

As a FL resident, I know for a fact that oak trees live here. Although the ones here are pretty old and well established, I'm not sure if a freshly planted oak will adapt so easily. Naturally, you'd have to keep it well watered and maybe do some other stuff too. A lot of things come into factor, the biggest being the soil type. I reccomend calling a couple nurseries in the area and ask them for advise, they should be more than helpful.

As for the maples, I really can't vouch for that one, sorry.

Answer 3

the place do you reside? What form of maple? What form of oak? I stay interior the Pacific Northwest, and in our section, i might prefer to verify a 'southern' oak ... extensive, with acorns. we don't get them right here, however ... sure, they are planted, whether it is so moist right here they have a tendency to get the 'rot' and die off after 20-30 years. Oh, there are nonetheless a number of the bigger previous ones, yet maximum of those are falling ... the two from affliction or 'progression.' right here, i might say you incredibly could plant a maple tree. Maples do lots greater helpful interior the moist right here, and there are thousands of distinctive types from which to make your concepts up on. yet, because of the fact which you should stay everywhere on the planet, i don't understand ... so enable me inform you slightly approximately the two, presuming that there is a minimum of considered one of each form of tree which will advance the place you reside ... The o.ok.is a 'tree for the a while' ... they advance slowly (even the California 'scrub' oak ... besides the fact that they are additionally understand to hold mistletoe while they become older, and that i like the two at the same time, even however the mistletoe is a parasite), yet stay far longer than the maple timber. The maple grows lots speedier ... there are even some types that advance from 'seedling' to an entire sized colour tree in 5 to seven years. on the same time as they do certainly not stay as long as a stately southern o.ok.can, they do stay an prolonged time ... oftentimes, maples are smaller than o.ok.timber ... besides the fact that the California scrub o.ok. are bearing directly to the same length because of the fact the main important of the maple timber. Tak a very good seem at the place you would be planting your tree ... additionally think bearing directly to the 'watering' that is going to choose ... and how lots annual rainfall provide you, and how lots you will could water it. make specific the two tree is planted in a position which will provide it good drainage, because of the fact the two timber choose that, besides the fact that the maple has some varities that could stand slightly bit 'swamping' as long as that is not 365 days around. i'm hoping this facilitates you come to a call ...

Answer 4

Nope, they don't die around here. I live in the Central Valley of California and Oak is native to this area, they can live to one hundred or more. More tree deaths are caused by disease, insects and sometimes lightening strikes. Maples live great here too, my mother has one in her yard and it is thriving.

P.S. There are some very old Oak trees in my town that were spared when the builders came through building homes, they are hugh and beautiful. We have hot, sunny summers reaching the 100's and above.

Answer 5

I am from CA and the area where my folks' have their house is surrounded by oak trees, though the trees are in danger because some developers want to clear cut the area for new communities.

Answer 6

I live in Australia and successfully grow, pin oaks & scarlet oaks.

Its dry where I live and we regularly get temperatures over 35 deg c and up to 42 deg c. I also grow dogwoods and acer palmatums, but they like morning sun and afternoon shade. Acer negundo also grows well even the variegated one. The finer leafed palmatums tend to get leaf burn in the middle of summer from hot winds. I have had particular success with the variegated dogwood -cornus controversa 'Variegata". All these plants just on regular garden water - not watered excessively once established.

Answer 7

Well, our trees don't die from the heat and sunshine, but many do lose their leaves in the autumn just like they do in your area. My yard is full of oak trees and we have to rake leaves every few weeks because they don't all fall at the same time and we don't have snow to cover the mess.
We do have many evergreen and tropical trees that don't lose their leaves all at once.
