🔒 Function of Assimilation Aparatus

Talking Trees

Subscriber-only episode

In this episode of Talking Trees, we explore the function of the assimilation apparatus in trees—namely, the leaves and needles that drive photosynthesis and support tree vitality.

We discuss:

• The structure and role of leaves and needles in gas exchange and energy production
• How morphological and anatomical adaptations help trees survive environmental stress
• The importance of the assimilation apparatus as a bioindicator for pollution and climate stress
• Why arborists should consider these traits when selecting species for urban landscapes

This episode offers a blend of tree physiology and practical arboriculture, highlighting how understanding assimilation can guide better decisions in tree care and urban planning.
