Once these are set up, young seedlings or saplings [7]: 4 [5] 3–12 in. (7.6–30.5 cm) long [20] [21] are planted. The training starts with young seedlings, saplings or the stems of trees when they are very young, [ 7 ] : 4 which are gradually shaped while the tree is growing to form the desired shape.
In autumn, leaves turn various shades of yellow, orange and red. Hornbeam saplings, stressed trees, and the lower branches of mature trees may exhibit marcescence—where leaves wither with autumn but abscission (leafdrop) is delayed until spring. [4] The smooth, gray trunk and larger branches of a mature tree exhibit a distinctive muscle-like ...

[6] It is often known by the synonym Millettia pinnata. Its common names include Indian beech, Karanja, and Pongame oiltree. [4] [5]
The leaves are used as a food plant for the larvae of a number of the order Lepidoptera (see List of Lepidoptera that feed on maples). In high concentrations, caterpillars, like the greenstriped mapleworm (Dryocampa rubicunda), can feed on the leaves so much that they cause temporary defoliation of host maple trees. [14]
It is a highly adaptable tree, although it has higher sunlight requirements than other maple trees. The leaves are simple and palmately veined, 8–16 cm ( 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long and 6–12 cm ( 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) broad, with deep angular notches between the five lobes.
Peltogyne, commonly known as purpleheart, violet wood, amaranth and other local names (often referencing the colour of the wood) is a genus of 23 species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae; native to tropical rainforests of Central and South America; from Guerrero, Mexico, through Central America, and as far as south-eastern Brazil.
Mopane twigs have been traditionally used as tooth brushes, the bark to make twine and for tanning leather, and the leaves for healing wounds. The wood is also used to make charcoal and for braai wood. The tree is a major food source for the mopane worm, the caterpillar of the moth Gonimbrasia belina. The caterpillars are rich in protein and ...
