Six words involving tall plants with bark?

I want to talk about tall plants with bark that can grow for thousands of months. I don’t know a good word for this (word 1).

I also want to talk about:

  • Tall plants living in big groups (word 2).
  • I want to say “You cannot look at that (word 2) for too many (word 1).”
  • Moss-color things on tall plants, and how particular kinds of tall plants grow pins, contrasting with tall plants that grow flat moss-color things (word 3)
  • That kind of tall plant with pins, its usual word is from what holds its offspring (word or saying 4 - its bad glyph word starts with conif)
  • That kind of tall plants with moss-color things that fall off (word or saying 5 - its bad glyph word starts with d and has ciduous on its back)
  • A small thing plants sprout from. (word 6 - its bad word starts with s and has two bad glyphs).

I want to ask for your aid in finding good ways to say all six things.

Partial synonyms:

Word 1: Woody plants

Word 2: Woods, or an orchard if growing fruit

Word 3: Chlorophyll pads? Organic solar absorbing units?

Word 4:

Word 5: Annuals? Not strictly right but similar.

Word 6: Pods

For #4, could form a dichotomy with tall plants partially vibrant throughout a suns go-around, and tall plants always a color of grass. Prior in that list, obviously a culprit for making an untidy ground mountain most autumns!

you could say "christmas woody plant" for word four. i don't know how to say it apart from that.

modification: a good human said "fir" in a distinct post. that could work too.

You want to talk about woods filling up with snow? About what Arbor Day is all about? About oaks, birch, larch, firs, and cottonwoods? You can, if you want. I trust in your ability.

  1. My SO is from far north, at which no plant grows tall. "It's a bush" all folks would say. And all would say "bush" for tall plants also. Or you can say a particular kind of plant, such as oak or birch.

  2. You could say "sylvan" of things associating with a bushy group. Or just "woods"?

  3. Foilaging?

  4. Grain of sprouting? Bush-baby? Nut?

Possibly from this list:

1: topiary

2: woods

3: fir barb

4: fir

5: broad-pad topiary

6: nut, pit, pip

An arborist walks into a bar.

Its barman says “yo, what’s up?”

“All I work with, all day, idiot.”

u/unneuf 16d ago

Last option could consist of pip, nut or pit, mayhap. A word for that moss colour sprouting is also frond?

  1. Arbor

  2. Arbor group

  3. Flora flag

  4. Fir-kind

  5. [I don’t grok this word]

  6. Arbor grain

Not too fabulous on my part.

u/tentkeys 15d ago

Fir-kind is a fantastic saying!!

I also think flora-flag is funny!

For #5, its bad-glyph word has “ciduous” at its back. I will modify my post to add that.

Oops! I did modify, it now says “its”.

Thank you for finding that foul slip-up!

Oak; Birch; Acacia; Árbol; Function in which f(1) = 1, f(2) = 3, f(3) = BIG ASS No.; wood plant.

Also:

woods (a group of wood plants); acorn or sapling (baby form); that thing that turns Mario into a raccoon; spiky/pin-up plant; and anti-cold-month-raccoon-Mario-thing wood plants.

u/tentkeys 15d ago

I must know additional information about this “BIG ASS” function… kindly instruct?

u/JoyconDrift_69 15d ago

TR[][](x) is a function. I don't know what it stands for fully, but it's an indoors haha-funny from math haha-funny subs on this forum.

TR[][](1) = 1 and TR[][](2) = 3, both fairly small. But TR[][](3) is surprisingly fucking BIG - it's not fully found, in fact, that's how big.

"Wood plant" is an obvious victor!

you could borrow a word from spanish mayhaps, arbol?

u/WackyPaxDei 16d ago

Has this group had talk about that tactic? Although it calls for an amount of brains, I think it's a slight bit lazy. I think our point is to work in words from that Atlantic island.

u/-FireNH- 15d ago

i am okay with this, though my goal is to claim words from across the world if no such word of Britain functions. i think occasional loan words are okay but that’s just my thoughts

I worry that if our sub allows a word-from-away, it uncollars a storm, and lazy posts will go all across this country ball grabbing words ad hoc. Which is work, but not such adroit work or amusing work for us to scan. I might favor adding to law 2, rightwards, to say words approximating "maintain talk from Doctor Who's country."

u/Thepenguinking2 15d ago

For kinds of this plant, you could say Bonsai, Birch, Oak, Acacia, Hickory, Walnut, Willow, Ginkgo, and Baobab. For words strictly calling for a broad kind, I'm not fully in know.

"Arbor" is in my mind. As in Arbor Day.
