Kingdom: Plantae

Phylum: Spermatophyta

Class: Dicotyledonae

Order: Sapindales

Family: Anacardiaceae

Genus: Mangifera

species: Mangifera indica

Flower and structure:
This tree produces white, yellowish, pinkish, or reddish small flowers that are either male or female. These flowers are showy and emerge in clusters on 2 long, reddish, branched panicles. They flower throughout late winter to early spring.

Reproduction:
Most mango varieties produce 25% male flowers and the remaining 75% are hermaphroditic. Depending on the region, plants can flower anywhere from December to March. Once pollinated, a fruit can begin to develop on the plant. Mangos produce drupe-like fruit, meaning a single seed is encased in a leathery coating.

Special response:
When introduced with KNO3 the mango tree in response produces more panicles. However, when introduced to methanol the tree would produce fewer and smaller panicles

Organisms that may affect them positively or negatively: Scales followed by sooty mold and Mediterranean fruit fly are pests of this tree. Sooty molds proliferate on mango foliage, subsisting on the honeydew created by sucking pests. It reduces the photosynthetic area of the tree. The Mediterranean fruit fly leaves larva on the mango fruit.

Botanical Use(medicinal, wild, industrial, ornament):
The Mangifera indica are used as a traditional source of medicine and pharmaceutical use. The fruit is used in spices, culinary herbs, for honey, and as the base of various beverages. The tree is utilized in agroforestry, for shade and shelter, and for soil improvement.

Suggestions on how to grow them and how to take care of them:
Mango trees grow best in full sun on fertile, well-drained soils and should have ample moisture. Leaf, flower, twig and fruit litter is a constant nuisance for some, and branches are subject to breakage during severe windstorms. It seems like something is always falling from a mango tree to litter the lawn. Place it in a bed with other plants to hide the litter.

Domain: Eukarya

Kingdom: Plantae

Phylum: Spermatophyta

Class: Dicotyledonae

Order: Urticales

Family: Moraceae

Genus: Ficus

Species: Ficus benjamina
Botanical Use:

As the tree blossoms, it covers itself in small, white flowers. Many times, because of the condition the tree is grown in, it doesn’t bloom.

Once the tree blooms, there are seeds enclosed in a fleshy sac in the flower. The tree can reproduce by seed production or by cuttings.
Special Response:

The tree grows up towards the sun (positive phototropism). Some leaves will also droop down (positive gravitropism). 

Pollinators like wasps and bees. The tree gets to reproduce and the organisms get food from the tree. 

Plant the fig in well-draining soil and only water it when the top few inches of soil are dry. This is a very low maintenance plant, just make sure to avoid cold drafts, dry heat, and sudden temperature changes. 

Domain: Eukaryote

Kingdom: Plantae

Phylum: Spermatophyta

Class: Dicotyledonae

Order: Laurales

Family: Lauraceae

Genus: Persea

species: Persea americana
Flower and structure: 
Their flowers are a pale green to greenish yellow. They are not showy, fragrant, and emerge in clusters on terminal panicles. They start to flower throughout late winter to early spring.

Reproduction: 
Avocado is a subtropical fruit tree in which the female function precedes th male function. As a consequence, each bisexual flower opens twice: first functionally as female, then the flower closes and reopens the next day functionally as male. In avocado, more that 99% of the flowers produced at anthesis are not able to set fruits due to not receiving pollen at the time of closing in the female stage. High pollen adhesion also occurs during the male stage, and, although the stigma maintains the capacity to support pollen germination, no fertilization occurs in flowers pollinated during the male stage.

Special response: 
A study was conducted to examine how soil texture affects calcium (Ca) absorption and partitioning in avocado trees. Trees were planted in one of four soil types: clay, clay loam, sandy loam, or sand. Dry weights of shoots and roots were significantly higher in the sandy loam and sand soils than in clay soil. Trees in the clay soil had higher wood dry weight than trees in sandy loam or sand soils. The Ca contents in the roots, shoots, and whole tree were significantly lower in the clay soil than in the sandy loam, or sand soils. The results indicated that Ca absorption and partitioning in young avocado trees varies with soil texture, probably associated with soil effects on root growth.

Organisms that may affect them positively or negatively: Mites and scale infestations can become quite serious. Mites can be commonly tolerated, however, they cause premature leaf drop, which can contribute to sunburn of fruit and during the next growing season reduced fruit yield. Scale infestations cause premature leaf drop and discolored blemishes on fruit, leaves or twigs.

Botanical Use(medicinal, wild, industrial, ornament): 
These trees are used as a traditional source of medicine and pharmaceutical use. They are utilized to feed both animals and humans and the fruit is integrated into essential oils, while the bark is used as fuelwood or to create wooden fences. These trees also help the control of erosion, dune stabilization, and soil improvement.

Suggestions on how to grow them and how to take care of them: 
Avocado trees grow quickly in either full sun or light shade on any well-drained soil. Trees should be watered regularly until established and later during droughts. Avocado trees respond well to a thick leaf mulch and periodic fertilization. Lawn grasses should be kept away from the trunk. The brittle wood of Avocado trees is subject to storm damage when trees grow taller than 50 feet in the open.

Domain: Eukaryota

Kingdom: Plantae

Phylum: Spermatophyta

Class: Dicotyledonae

Order: Euphorbiales

Family: Euphorbiaceae

Genus: Codiaeum

Species: Codiaeum variegatum

Flower and structure:
When grown as a houseplant it rarely flowers. However, when growing in the ground in frost-free climates in spring it produces insignificant flowers in long axillary racemes. These flowers are tiny, star-shaped, and yellow.

Reproduction:
The garden croton presents a sexual reproduction system mediated by unisexual flowers, frequently associated to the heterogeneous coloration that exhibits the foliar laminae in the reported varieties. This plant also experiences asexual reproduction, which is widely used in the multiplication by cuttings, whose vegetative units are vital within the extensive ornamental use assigned to this species.

Special response:
A study assessed the growth response of croton cuttings to Aloe vera. Croton cuttings that were grown on topsoil and treated with Aloe vera gel recorded earlier days to sprout and the number of leaves and roots was higher.

Organisms that may affect them positively or negatively: Despite being nearly pest-free, insects, mites, and pathogens should be scouted for and controlled. Mite feeding causes foliage to become speckled and may induce yellowing. Pathogens cause the areas on stems and leaf veins to swell, eventually turn corky, and can even cause swelling in the roots.

Botanical Use(medicinal, wild, industrial, ornament): Codiaeum variegatum is grown as an ornamental or for fencing around dwellings, and the branches are used decoratively. It is also used in folklore medicine for topical treatment of wounds, infections, skin conditions, gonorrhea, syphilis, toothache and fever, using sap from the leaves or bark.

Suggestions on how to grow them and how to take care of them:
Crotons need plenty of bright light, a consistently warm spot and high humidity. They can take some direct sunshine but keep them away from direct midday sun. Keep the soil moist from spring to autumn, and provide some humidity by misting regularly or standing on a tray of moist pebbles.
