TISSUES- a group of cells functioning together in some specialized activity MERISTEMS- a mass of self-perpetuating cells, which are not yet committed to developing into a specialized cell type Terminal meristems- ends of stems, branches and roots Axillary meristems- base of leaves, branches Lateral meristems are parallel to sides of plant parts and increase girth.

Xylem
Mostly to conduct water and nutrients E.g., roots to shoots

Phloem

Mostly to conduct sugars, amino acids, etc. E.g., leaves to roots or flowers

What to know about EAB: It attacks only ash trees (Fraxinus spp.). Adult Beetles are metallic green and about -inch long. Adults leave a D-shaped exit hole in the bark when they emerge in spring. Woodpeckers like EAB larvae; heavy woodpecker damage on ash trees may be a sign of infestation. Firewood cannot be moved in many areas of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana because of the EAB quarantine ( Ohio, Indiana, Michigan)

It probably came from Asia in wood packing material.
