The Importance of Trees!
Trees are extremely important! We here at High Touch High Tech want to highlight trees and all the things they do! Have you heard of the heat island effect? This is where hot pavement and reflection from buildings increase temperature in urban areas. Trees help counteract this!
Did you know there are champion trees? Champion trees are determined by factors such as height and diameter and the champion titles are awarded to many species of tree. To learn all about this you could check out the website: https://www.americanforests.org/champion-trees/champion-trees-registry/?gclid=CjwKCAjwvfmoBhAwEiwAG2tqzCeucx870G8EmSA-OXPJOLXOSoRzVrLmS1n3rXgp5edKTnyUEIQMkRoCCfQQAvD_BwE.
The tree I am highlighting today is a Sand Hickory in Greenville South Carolina. The botanical name for this tree is Carya pallida. The trunk circumference is 134.3 inches, and it reaches a height of 151 feet! The crown is 80.5 feet!
