### plant | tracheophyte | tree:

Infected tree
* appear light green and sparse or thin at first.
* are prone to break
  - worthless and serve as sources of infection to non-infected trees
* can decline for years
  - survive indefinitely, but can be structurally unsound
* decline in health, produce inedible fruit and eventually die.
* exhibit slow growth, branch dieback and curled, dry or discolored leaves
  - spots of exuding sap along trunk
* flower heavily and set large crops of small, highly colored fruit
  - numbers of small, highly colored fruit
* have dead twigs and branches in the crown
  - slower growth rates and reduced seed production
* lose leaves, twigs and branches.
* mask the disease until they collapse even bearing some fruit.
* require removing and disposing of the wood.
* shed more leaves than do uninfected trees.
* show small spots with purple margins on the leaves.
* slow in growth rate, have branches dying, and their leaves are small and yellowed.
* turn a characteristic red colour and eventually die.
* wilt and die within a matter of weeks to a few months.

### plant | tracheophyte | tree:

Infested tree
* are also prone to secondary attack by other diseases and insects
  - by other diseases or insects
  - from other insects and diseases
  - vulnerable to disease that enters through the boring wound
* become stressed and more susceptible to secondary insects and diseases.
* can decline rapidly in vigor.
* die from the top downward
  - quickly due to girdling action of galleries and a blue stain fungus
* have a sickly appearance, producing sparse, pale-colored foliage
  - sparse foliage and eventually suffer dieback in the upper crown
  - the leader curled into a shape that resembles a shepherd's crook
* lose turgor pressure, and leaves become yellow and droop.
* produce unseasonal yellowing or droopy leaves.
* secrete a white or greyish resin.
* show exuding gum more or less mixed with sawdust on the trunk.

### plant | tracheophyte | tree:

Ironwood
* are so dense that they sink in water rather than float as other woods do
* grow in moist, fertile soils or in sandy soils, preferring well-drained slopes and ridges.
+ Hardwood, Properties: Wood
  * Hardwoods normally have broad leaves and come from deciduous or broad-leafed evergreen trees. Hardwoods grow slower than softwoods. Evergreen softwoods grow faster than deciduous hardwoods, and can grow to a larger size. Hardwoods are excellent for carving. One of the hardest hardwoods is black ironwood which is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the heaviest wood. Ironwoods are so dense that they sink in water rather than float as other woods do.

Isolated tree
* are more subject to attack than forest or orchard trees
  - frost cracks than trees in groups or in forest settings
* carry regular fruit crops.
* provide shade for livestock and can improve grazing distribution.

Jacaranda
* are briefly deciduous in the Bay Area.
* make for striking street trees.

Juniper tree
* Most juniper trees grow to height.
* Most juniper trees provide food sources
  - primary food sources
  - range in height
* are evergreen shrubs or trees
  - slow growing
* give way to willows and then cedars.
  - very slowly and make a very resilient wood
* have a moderate to fast growth rate.
* provide primary food sources
* reach out their dry branches.
* to produce seeds.

Kapok
* fluffy fiber from the seed pod of the rainforest kapok tree.
* natural fiber similar to cotton which is grown in a pod.

Kapok tree
* are keystone species in many rain forest ecosystems
  - very tall in the rain forest
* grow in tropical rainforests.
