A system is provided that includes a fluid to be administered to the tree. The fluid can be water, coloring agents, insecticides, fungicides, nutrients, plant growth regulators and herbicides. The system also includes a pressurizable container containing the fluid and a low pressure gas. The pressurizable container is attached to a manifold. Additionally, an infusion nozzle is attached to the manifold and configured to provide attachment of the system to a tree for an extended period of time ranging from weeks to months. The provided system also can, optionally, include an infusion control valve configured to regulate the flow of fluid from the container, through the manifold, through the infusion nozzle and into the tree. The infusion nozzle has threads that provide direct attachment to the tree.

A binding machine for gardening includes a main handle, a clincher arm, a tape guide, a tape gripping device and a cutting blade. The clincher arm is rotatably attached to the main handle. The tape guide is configured to draw out and guide a tape at a front end portion of the main handle. The tape gripping device is configured to grip an end portion of the tape drawn out from the tape guide, at a front end portion of the clincher arm. The cutting blade is configured to cut the tape. The tape guide is movably provided such that a position of the tape guide when the tape gripping device operates to grip the end portion of the tape and a position of the tape guide when the cutting blade operates to cut the tape are different from each other.

The tree surgery method includes a decayed-tissue removing step of removing a decayed tissue of a cavity and exposing a solid woody tissue; an internal treating step of performing sterilization and insecticidal treatment on the woody tissue and drying the woody tissue; a protective layer forming step of coating the woody tissue with a protective agent to form a protective layer; a cambium exposing step of cutting out an edge of the cavity and exposing a cambium; a cavity filling step of filling the cavity on which the protective layer is formed with a urethane foam, and an artificial-tree-bark forming step of filling and coating an upper surface of the urethane foam with a tree bark material including a mixture of cork powder and silicone sealant to form an artificial tree bark. The tree bark material includes a mixture of colored silicone sealants allowing a color similar to real trees.

A process for harvesting organic material recovers sugars, proteins, aromatics, organic acids and mixtures thereof, from the sapwood of trees or recently pruned sections, e.g. branches. The process involves drilling entry and exit ports to access the sapwood layer and the use of spiles, driven into the ports, to create fluid tight seals for the tubing, which delivers and recovers the solution, which solubilizes the harvested organic material and flows through the sapwood layer. The close proximity of entry and exit ports permits the flow of a pressurized solution. The recovered pumped solution or products therefrom, if desired, can be used in a fermentation medium to prepare products, e.g. alcohol, fatty acids.
