Tree/Plant/Shrub Lab

Willow Oak tree- very distinct type of Oak tree due to the unique shape of its leaves.

Crape Myrtl tree- distinct because of its long branches and colorful flowers.

Sycamore tree- has sticky buds that grow at the end of its leaves.

Paper Birch tree- the bark is the identifying factor when looking at this tree, by the way the bark peels you can tell its a Paper Birch.

Ginkgo Bailoba tree- this tree is unique because there are male and female sexes of this tree. It requires sexual reproduction to spread seed, unlike most plants which are asexual.

Monkey Grass- normal plant found all over. Native to Japan.

Juniper plant- little buds at the end of needle-like leaves.

Poison Ivy- produces urushiol which is the sap that makes poison ivy so irritating to nearly everyone that comes into contact with it.

Elephant Ear plant- very, very large leaves. Some species can be even eaten.

Chinese Fringe- native to the far east such as Japan and China. Thin pink/white petals.

Angel's Trumpet- has hallucinogenic qualities, but is also HIGHLY TOXIC! Long, peach petals that resemble trumpets (obviously).
