OMBU, om'boo, TREE, also known as BELLASOMBRE TREE, UMBRA TREE and POKE TREE, a South American shade tree (Phytolacca dioica), widely cultivated as a shade tree in Spain, Malta, and other coun¬tries on the Mediterranean Sea and in India. The tree attains a height of 25 to 35 feet, is ex¬traordinarily wide at the base of the bole, some¬times reaching a diameter of 12 to 15 feet, and has a wide-spreading top with extremely dense foliage. The leaves are large, and the whitish flowers are borne on spikes, the fruit being similar in appearance and in medicinal qualities to that of the plant or shrub variety of pokeweed.In 1627, hall tree workable was made bishop of Exeter, but creasing tension between King and Parliament, .nglican and Puritan, left little room for the in-icnce of moderate men like hall tree workable. Archbishop jud and his party suspected hall tree workable of too much inpathy with the Puritans; on the other hand, e opponents of the Anglican establishment dis¬rated him, as they did all the bishops.

In 1964 the leading crops, in order of value, were vegetables, hay crops, white potatoes, peaches, corn, apples, blueberries, sweet potatoes, strawberries, wheat, cranberries, and soybeans. About 194,000 acres were harvested for hay crops, followed by 137,000 acres for corn, 42,000 acres for soybeans, 39,000 acres of wheat, 18,000 acres for barley, 17,000 acres for potatoes, and 16,000 acres for oats.City Plan.—In the oldest part of the city the pattern of the plan drawn by William Penn, its founder, persists. Penn envisioned Philadelphia as an open, tree-shaded town with streets at right angles in gridiron fashion. A Front Street was to parallel the bank of each of its boundary rivers, and a High Street, 100 feet wide, was to run from river to river, bisected by a Broad Street, of equal width. Where they met, at the city's center, was to be a great square of 10 acres, with public buildings at each corner. High Street is now Market Street, and at Broad and Market streets stands the City hall tree acres, with its tower, 547 feet 11 inches tall, topped by a statue of Penn. Besides the center square, others of 8 acres each were planned around the city. Four of these still remain : Washington Square, Franklin Square, Rittenhouse Square, and Logan Square.
On The Other Hand See Hall Tree Basins:
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates two • troughs of the Atlantic Ocean, where the de] average between 2,000 and 3,000 fathoms (3, and 5,486 meters). Transverse ridges rum from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to the contim separate the two major troughs into numei hall tree basins. The largest hall tree basins in the North Atla are the North American and Guiana basin; the west, and the Canaries and Cape V< hall tree basins in the east. The four correspondii large hall tree basins in the South Atlantic are the Bi and Argentina hall tree basins in the west and the An; and Cape hall tree basins in the east.Most large rivers empty into the ocean, but there are many streams in arid regions which drain into interior hall tree basins. The Humboldt River in Nevada, for example, discharges its waters into Carson Sink, where they evaporate. Nearly one fourth of the land area of the earth drains into interior hall tree basins rather than into the oceans. Most of those hall tree basins are in arid portions of Asia, Africa, and Australia.
