6015 - Tree info


How can a tree pull water up 300 feet? 


Do you understand now? I've watched this twice and I'm not sure I understand.

Simply because they are wise, strong, clever and beautiful. Which is all the information I need.

Sue - The simple view. No figuring out, just admiration.

I gave up listening about halfway through. I'm just glad the trees know how to do what they do.

The real question is why people can be so small.

Trees are marvels alright. I just saw on the news that the Lahaina Banyan Tree has stafted sprouting some new green leaves!

Trees are amazing and beautiful and I love them.

When I saw the tree topic I thought I had slipped into a time zone and it was already Thursday.

River - All I remember is it's not a vacuum that pulls the water up. It's magic.

Bill - I think I've read something on why humans are the size we are. I'll have to check again. ... OH wait! THAT kind of small!

Deb - Now the debate is going on about whether to rebuild the city. Maybe they'll turn the area into the Lahaina Banyan Tree State Park.

Lady - I think we all agree.

Kathy - HA! A retiree 'what day is it' brain fart. I have those all the time.

That young man talks way too fast. It's evaporated water that's getting sucked up--is that what he said?

Mike said...

Kirk - I'm not totally sure.
