Most young fruit trees need at least a few years of growth before they're mature enough to bloom and set fruit. The male flowers on a Sensation box elder add color and beauty to the spring landscape.

Perennial fruit trees rely on a complex interplay of soil, plant and management processes to cycle nitrogen (N) efficiently. In orchard systems, external N inputs from mineral or organic fertilisers ...

An extra helping of nitrogen can double the growth of tropical trees in a recovering forest, vastly boosting the amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) they can absorb for a decade, according to a new study.
