    Tree - a woody perennial plant, having a single stem or trunk growing to a considerable height, bearing lateral branches of

    some distance from the ground.


    Examples: Narra, Molave, Ipil-ipil, Mahogany, Gemelina, Acacia, etc.

    Fruit-bearing trees - trees which bear fruit, these products of trees are used as source of livelihood for some people.

    A. Elements to be observed in planting trees and fruit-bearing trees

    1. Proper care of the plants and soil Trees and fruit-bearing trees need a wider space for planting to grow and be productive
    than ornamental plants and vegetables because the roots of the trees expand sideward and move downward.

    Ways of caring plants and soil:


    1 Choose the right place for planting.
    2. Select seeds that best suited for both soil and the season.
    3. Add enough fertilizer into the soil.
    4. Take care of the soil and the plants regularly

    Methods of Planting
    1. Direct-seeding is a method of planting seeds directly into the ground or plot.
    2. Indirect or Transplanting Method is planting seeds in a seed box or plastic container, fully grown seedlings are
    transplanted to the ground or plot. Seeds to be planted are seeds with high percentage of germination, correct
    moisture content, and free from seed pest, diseases, and other impurities. When planting seedlings, select those
    that have uniform height and having varietal purity.

    3. The Seed Germination Seed germination is the development or growth of a seed into a young plant that influence
    harvest and the quality of tree products. This process needs water or moisture, warmth or temperature, oxygen, and
    sunlight for seeds to grow in either a seed box, plastic container or other wrappers.

    4. Preparation of seedlings before transplanting

    Transplanting is the process where seedling is transferred from the seed box or other containers to the ground or plot for
    growth, development, and production.
    To avoid mortality in transplanting seedlings and to attain a higher rate of survival, the following processes are to be kept in
    mind:

    1. Thinning- This process accelerates the circulation of air and provide greater area for seedlings to make them stronger

    and healthier. This is done by removing the crowded seedling in the seed box.

    2. Pricking- These refers to transferring of seedlings from one seedbox to another to provide more space for proper
    development of seedling. Water the seedling before pricking to make the soil smooth.

    3. Hardening- The process can be done in 7 to 15 days before transplanting, to make the tissue of the plants harder to
    survive the rigors of transplanting.
