What’s in it?
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.
Planting and propagating trees and fruit –bearing trees is a source
of livelihood for many Filipino families. Nowadays, many people engage in
this as a source of additional income for their daily needs. Fruit –bearing
trees can be planted in your backyard depend on several factors: the
space in your backyard , the kind of soil, and, and the type of climate in
your own community.
Flash floods have killed so many lives these past few years. One of
the major causes of floods is deforestation or the clearing of an area of
forest without
replanting. To prevent flood there is a need for reforestation. Reforestation is the act of renewing forest cover by planting seeds or young trees.
It is also needed for the continuing supply of trees for the good of the future generation.
A tree is an erect plant with a single woody stem capable of reaching a height of about 20-25 feet at maturity. Trees are valuable to the
family and the community for the many products and amenities they
give. Trees are one of the major sources of food, primarily fruits and
nuts; also sugar is derived from the sap of some trees. Wood from trees is
a major source of fuel for heating and cooking. Construction materials
from wood includes lumber, plywood , and board. Wood is also the major
source of fiber for the production of pulp and
paper. Trees are also a primary source of many chemical products.
Some fibers like rayon are produced from wood pulp. These are chemicals that can be harvested directly from trees such as rubber and resins. These
are then refined to produce turpentine.

Benefits derived from planting trees and fruit-bearing trees to families
and communities
Trees are valuable to the family and the community for the products
and amenities they give such as:
food like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sugar
wood used as fuel for cooking and heating
construction materials which include lumber, plywood, and board
fiber for the production of pulp and paper; and
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 benefits include:
They provide shade and fresh air around the house and, along the
streets and surroundings.
Trees are very much needed by people in these times of climate change
when the temperature is high and the heat of the sun becomes intense. Without trees, there are no shades to keep us cool.
They protect the soil from erosion. Have you seen big roots that extend
several meters from the trunk or go deeper into the soil? These roots
hold the soil, preventing it from eroding when rain or floods come.
They help maintain high quality water supply. The roots of plants and
trees help strain the dirt and cleanse the water as it passes through
the roots.
The root system promotes soil stability. This means that the soil held by
the roots remain there and does not erode.
They serve as valuable wildlife habitats. Wild animals live in places with
many trees like that of a forest.
They serve as wind breakers during typhoons and storms, thus, reducing the destruction of home and agricultural crops. A typhoon that is
strong usually moves at a very fast speed. It continues to be that
strong if there are no barriers on the path where it moves. But when
it passes barriers like mountains and trees, it slows down and its
speed is reduced. Small crops and plants as well as houses are safe
when typhoon is weak.
They help reduce pollutions in congested urban areas. Remember that
trees take in carbon dioxide emitted from vehicles that belches
smoke. The more trees present, the less amount of carbon dioxide is
in the air.
7
However, if there are trees to serve as barriers and the roots to hold
the water, flood will not occur.
They contribute to the beautiful landscapes in the city and the
countryside. Imagine a land with plenty of trees and grass and a scattering of flowers of beautiful colors, sizes, and shapes.
They improve the atmosphere of a place by giving a feeling of freshness
and coolness as they reduce temperature.
They prevent river and lake sedimentation. Have you observed a river
bank that is lined endlessly with full-grown trees? These trees help
hold the water in the lake and river and keep it there. This prevents
the lake and river from drying up.
They prevent floods. Floods occur when water from rain rushes in
causing soil erosion.

Importance of Developing the Skills in Planting Trees and
Fruit-Bearing Trees
1. You can motivate others by teaching them to plant trees.
2. Plant as many fruit-bearing and other trees in your backyard and in
vacant lots.
3. Fruits of fruit-bearing trees are good source of sugar , vitamins and
minerals and other substances which have antioxidants and anticancer properties.
4. It can be a source of livelihood. By propagating trees, you can see
them as seedlings. This can be a start of a profitable business.
5. Raising trees for sale brings added income to the family .
6. It can give employment to others once the business prospers.
