An experiment on whether vines grown on trees or artificial trees grow better and why.

The observation has been make that vines grow up trunks of trees as well as the sides of some buildings. Because these obserbvations the hypothesis states: VINES ONLY USE STRUCTURES FOR SUPPORT Experiment: Under controlled conditions, vines were grown on real trees (control group-Plants 1,2,3), and artificial trees (experimental group-Plants 4,5,6). The following data was gathered over a five week period. DATA WEEK ONE: Plant 1: 5 cm Plant 2: 5 cm Plant 3: 5 cm Plant 4: 5 cm Plant 5: 5 cm Plant 6: 5 cm WEEK …

…-29 cm, while the ones with the artificial trees grew 15-18 cm. 2) Vines use trees for more than just support. If that weren't true, the ones on the real and atrificial trees would grow the same amount. The three vines on the realy tree grew from 22.2%- 93.3% taller then the ones on the artificial trees. 3) I believe that the trees give the vines nutrients or other such things that would aide in the vines' growth.
