For trees, the length is usually 1.10 meters, and the width is the same, while for shrubs and bushes, containers with a minimum length and depth of 0.5 meters have been adopted. [48] All the basins are made of concrete and equipped with a bituminous waterproof layer and a protective lining, effectively limiting root penetration.
Each of the trees in this stand is a genetically identical male that has reproduced vegetatively. Although no single tree in this stand is of that age, the stand itself as a single organism has existed that long. [119] Individual trees in the clonal patch have been listed as having ages of 2000 [120] [121] or even to 3000 years old. [122] [123]

[ 2 ] : 151 The climate above the tree line of mountains is called an alpine climate , [ 14 ] : 21 and the habitat can be described as the alpine zone . [ 15 ]
Two main opposing forces affect a tree's height; one pushes it upward while the other holds it down. By analyzing the interplay between these forces in coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), a team of biologists led by George Koch of Northern Arizona University calculated the theoretical maximum tree height or the point at which opposing forces balance out and a tree stops growing.
At the center of the elevation, marble steps lead down to a basement entry (now closed). The building site is surrounded on the south, east and west elevations by a massive marble balustrade. Marble clad walls off the balustrade open onto the entries. The landscaping is dominated by magnolia trees at the east and west elevations.
