THE FACELIFT OF A TREE

This Progress Report submitted by Andrea, Kristie,Alecia,Abeni [e-mail:Scratch809@hotmail.com] on 11/15/99.

Our study of finding out how long it takes a sycamore tree to peal is more complicated than first expected. The weather is a MAJOR factor as to how fast the bark will peal off of the tree. We predicted that the sections of bark would peal from the tree within two or three weeks. To test this prediction, each member of the group has been assigned a specific tree to study. Four sections of the tree are to be measured weekly and we have found that the sections of bark actually take an average of a month and a half to fully peal off (in the Oxford area).
