PowerPoint Presentation : There are 3 main ways of propagating trees: 1) from seed 2) from cutting 3) grafting Are Vitally Important! Tree Nurseries Oil palm tree nursery in Borneo >>
the Green Belt Movement : the Green Belt Movement Through creating their own tree nurseries – at least 6,000 throughout Kenya – and planting trees, women began to control the supply of their own firewood, an enormous power shift that also freed up time for other pursuits.

PowerPoint Presentation : How to Plant a Tree A tree is a LONG-TERM project: easy to plant, not so easy that it survives & thrives for DECADES afterwards
PowerPoint Presentation : Respect root level + below any graft Plant depth is important Loosen out roots if they have become very constricted & twisted in the pot How to Plant a Tree
How to Plant a Tree : How to Plant a Tree Hole wider than the pot, but not deeper (loosen lower soil by ripping or adding water + well rotted compost (worms will help dig) Swale around the tree roots & mulch + water frequently at first (don't drown)
Watering : Watering Wherever possible it is important that the tree is watered naturally (rainwater) Swaling to collect & Mulching avoid evaporation from soil + increase microbial life 'Training' roots when young Roots can extend well beyond the drip-line, most stay in top 20cm, depends on soil compaction + where the water is
PowerPoint Presentation : 'Train' roots to range wide & deep for a storm-proof & draught-proof tree - when older - 'Biberón' to train roots when young Watering Check watering frequency with soil & tree type Text

PowerPoint Presentation : Watering Newly planted trees & Established trees have quite different needs
Pruning & Tree Care : Pruning & Tree Care Arborist or arboriculturist Many arborists follow the concept of "harvesting the sun" when pruning fruit trees.
PowerPoint Presentation : No pruning can result in higher yields where the tree has never been pruned, but GOOD DESIGN is about adapting optimal methods & techniques to all sorts of different circumstances. Pruning & Tree Care

Types of Forests : Types of Forests Equatorial or the "real rainforest," > > 2,000 mm rain / yr > spread evenly in year > highest biological diversity > well-developed canopy "tier" form of vegetation. Tropical moist forests > greater distance from the equator > rainfall and day length vary seasonally > "only" 1,270 mm rain / yr > have a cooler dry season > many trees shed some or even all their leaves > more sunlight to reach the forest floor > South America, the Caribbean, West Africa, and Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka
Types of Forests : Types of Forests Temperate Deciduous Forests > It is no coincidence that a good deal of the human population is found in areas that once supported temperate forests . > The soils are rich and easily converted to agriculture . > The climate is warmer than the boreal forest, > yet not so warm as the tropics. Boreal forests o Taiga > absorb most of Co2 on Earth > world's largest terrestrial biome > lowest winter temperatures, short summers > young soils poor in nutrients > experienced some of the greatest temperature increases on Earth study in e-book PermaCultureScience.org
