 Lesson
PLANTING AND PROPAGATING TREES
1 AND FRUIT-BEARING TREES

Let Us Study

Have you ever planned to start planting and propagating trees and fruit-
bearing trees? Your hobbies and interest might be a good idea in having your
own trees and fruit products. It is easier to work on something that you
already liked.

Planting fruit trees can contribute much not only to the economy of our
country, but also to people’s health. Eating fresh fruits is important for
everybody. Vitamins and minerals that we get from these food group are
necessary for our health. This lesson will discuss the importance of planting
and propagating trees and fruit-bearing trees.

Planting and propagating trees and fruit –bearing trees is a source of

livelihood for many Filipino families. Nowadays, many people considered this
as a source of additional income for their daily needs. Fruit –bearing trees can
be planted in your backyard depending on several factors: the space in your
backyard, the kind of soil, and the type of climate in your own community.

Trees are important to the family as well to the community for the
products they give such as food like fruits, vegetables, nuts and sugar. Wood
is used for cooking and heating. Trees provide construction materials which
include lumber, plywood and board; fiber for the production of paper and
pulp; and chemicals like resin, rubber and turpentine.

Trees, like animals, are part of our ecosystem. They help maintain what
we call an ecological balance. What is ecological balance? One example is this:
Trees give off oxygen and take in carbon dioxide, while man gives off carbon
dioxide and takes in oxygen. It is a give and take relationship between tree
and man. Nothing goes to waste. Another example: waste of animals and
plants like carabao manure, chicken dung, and dead leaves and twigs mix
with soil to decompose and become compost or organic fertilizer. This organic
fertilizer sustains the plants and trees with nutrients which they need to grow,
to bear fruits, and to provide food for man. Ecological balance allows every
living in nature to survive for as long as we take care of each other. What can
you do to maintain ecological balance?

 Why is there a need for plant propagation?

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 and leaves
of their flowers, fruits, and seeds. It is a method of growing new plants from
seed or from parts of existing plants.
