3.01-4.01 Hort 1

Marigolds and other warm-season plants grow BEST during:

• early spring

• late fall

• mid summer

• mid winter

MOST cool-season grasses grow very little during the hottest months of summer. What is this condition called?

• dead

• dormant

• turgid

• wilted

The terms annual, biennial and perennial describe plant:

• leaf loss

• life cycle

• production practices

• root type

As part of regular biological processes, a deciduous tree:

• dies each year in the winter

• Drops its functional leaves in the dormant season

• Keeps its functional leaves in the dormant season

• remains green all year

Because trees live many years, they are:

• annuals

• biennials

• perennials

In North Carolina, a tree that has no leaves in the winter is:

• deciduous

• evergreen

• herbaceous

• turgid

If a plant is turgid, it is:

• drowned and drooping

• pale green or yellow

• swollen with moisture

• wilted from lack of water

Trees that keep their functional leaves throughout the year are:

• decidous

• evergreen

Plants that take three or more years to complete their life cycle are:

• annuals

• biennials

• perennials

Plants that complete their life cycles in two years are:

• annuals

• biennials

• perennials
