Concluded Information

So far I concluded that Basswood Trees of West Virgina is popular tree in the state. Although its not the state tree, I would elect it to be the state tree if I had the power.If anyone has any questions about the Basswood Tree, feel free to comment

Day 2

Today I researched a tree outside of my school. It was not the basswood tree its called a Red Maple.

While I was out their i herd a lot of birds chirping and many more tiny creatures. The tree I picked outside had creatures on it also. They were ants.
The tree itself was a smooth/ rugged surface with many weird shapes. The smell of the tree was kinda sour to me.

Heres a map of the tree I found.

The circumfrence of the tree is 61cm.

Other: The tree looks smooth with a magnifying class but its really not. The leaf looks hairy with a magnifying class with it but it dont look like that with a human eye.

 

 

Therefore, these are the things I have learned about the red maple is.
-Has rougf bark
-makes a v-shaped
-birds make snugged nest inside of it.
-weeds and other plants grow around it.
