MELC: Discusses the importance of planting and propagating trees and fruit-bearing trees and marketing of
seedlings. TLEAG-0a-
Discussion:
Trees are one of the important sources of life on earth. If the trees did not exist, we wouldn’t
have such a beautiful environment to live in. Their importance cannot be taken for granted. In humans,
plants are the major source of food as in the case of many fruit-bearing trees. They also provide a better and
healthier environment by giving off oxygen. Planting and propagating trees is a source of livelihood for
many Filipino families. Orchards abound in the countryside where mango, banana, jackfruit, guava, santol,
and many other tropical fruits grow. Many of these fruits were exported to other countries. Many people
nowadays engage in propagating fruit-bearing trees as a source of additional income for their daily needs.
Plant propagation is the process of reproducing or creating a new plant or seedling. It is an

important part of gardening, whether outdoors or indoors. Plants are living things that grow either through
their roots, stems, leaves and seeds. It is a method of growing new plants from seed or from parts of existing
plants.
Importance of planting trees and fruit-bearing trees to the family and community.
Trees are valuable to the family and the community for the products and amenities they give such as:
1. food like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sugar
2. wood used as fuel for cooking and heating
3. construction materials which include lumber, plywood, and board
4. fiber for the production of pulp and paper; and
5. chemical products such as resin, rubber, and turpentine.
Other Benefits Derived from Trees There are benefits derived from trees to maintain a healthy
environment. Some of these are:
1. They provide shade, fresh air to breath in the house and along the streets and surroundings.
2. They protect the soil from erosion.
3. They help maintain high quality water supply.
4. The root system promotes soil stability.
5. They serve as valuable wildlife habitats.
6. They serve as windbreakers during typhoons and storms, thus, reducing the destruction of home and
agricultural crops.
7. They help reduce pollutions in congested urban areas.
