LESSON 4: Proper Way of Planting/Propagating Trees
and Fruit Bearing Trees
As we observed our surrounding, there are lot of trees because it is the reason why we
exist in this world. We classified this into trees and fruit bearing trees. Can you identify what
kind of trees you have in your backyard? Cite the benefits of trees in our life.
How are you coping with our lesson? I hope you are eager to learn and apply the elements
to be observed in planting trees and fruit bearing trees.
What are the names of the fruit and plants in the picture? Where did you find them? Have you
tasted these fruits?
Activity 2: Below are examples of nuts and fruit bearing plants found in our country, Classify
nuts from fruit bearing plants.
Cacao avocado cashews walnuts almonds cocoa

way of planting and propagating trees and fruit bearing trees.
Ask: After doing the activity, how did you feel? What do you think is the proper way of
planting/propagating fruit bearing trees?
An orchard is an intentional planting of shrubs that is maintain for food production.

Orchards comprise fruit-or–nut producing trees which are generally grown for commercial
production.
Types of Orchard Farms

Fruit Orchards
• Fruit orchards include any facility focused on growing tree-bearing fruits. Citrus trees, such
as those bearing lemons, limes or oranges, may be grown all together in large citrus
orchards, or individually in smaller facilities. Plantations that grow fruit-bearing bushes
generally don't fall under this category. These include fruits not grown on trees.
Nut Orchards
• Nut orchards include a large variety of facilities that produce nut- bearing trees. These
include orchards that grow popular nuts like cashews, walnuts and almonds. This
category also includes cocoa and chocolate-producing nuts, as well as coconuts. Some
orchard owners produce pine trees for their edible pine nuts.
Seed Orchards
• Seed orchards focus primarily on growing trees that produce seeds rather than nuts or
fruit. These seeds are then sold to commercial distributors for resale to the public in
small seed packets. They may also be sold to large agricultural facilities or used for food
production. Seed orchards can further be divided into two categories based on how they
are established. In a seedling orchard, trees are selected through controlled pollination. In
a clonal seed orchard, seeds are distributed through methods such as cutting and tissue
culture, resulting in an easier harvest overall.
Home or Backyard Orchards
• A system of high density planting of fruit trees which allows for a wide variety of fruit to be
grown in a limited space and harvested over prolonged period of time.
Factors to consider in planting fruit trees for your orchard:
Planting trees requires careful study of various factors to ensure its proper adaptability
and growth.
➢ Climate-the most important factor affecting the growth of trees or fruit trees. It has been
observed that different varieties of trees grow bestin certain climatic conditions.
➢ Temperature- the degree of coldness and hotness of the atmosphere at certain period of
time.
➢ Sunlight- the main energy proider in the process offood manufacture in the plant
kingdom.
➢ Soil-provides nutrients in plants and contains mineraal elements necessary for normal
plant growth and development of the trees.
Trees suited for orchard gardening based on:
➢ LOCATION
Hill side- Pili nut Palm tree Coconut Mango

Slope- Coconut Cashew Palm tree Pili nut Mango
Valley- Durian Banana Papaya Mangosteen
Plain- Banana Mango Citrus fruits Dragon fruit
➢ CLIMATE Elevated ( Cold) - pomelo grape

Low (warm)- Banana Guava Durian
Dry season- Papaya Guava Star apple pili nut palm tree
Wet season –durian banana manggo
➢ MARKET DEMAND
Year round- Citrus Dragon fruit Papaya Coconut
Seasonal – Star apple Jackfruit Guava santol
Plant propagation is the process which grows new plants from a variety of sources: seeds,
cuttings,and other plant parts.
Plant propagation is important technique in multiplying useful plants especialy trees and
fruit bearing trees.This is the best practice of filipino farmers in increasing thier financial income
to feed thier family and sending their children to school.There are many filipino farmers who
become succesful in propagating fruit bearing trees in the country.
This modern era many farmers used this teachniques to produce plants that are
resistant to some pest and desease on the fruits,increase the numbers plants suitable in any
climate and in location,to produce new variety of fruit bearing trees that will developed more
fruits and to prevent the extinction of some fruit bearing plants in the country.
PROPER WAY OF PROPAGATING FRUIT-BEARING TREES
• Cutting – a plant cutting is a peice of a plant that is used in horticulture for vegetative
propagation.A peice of the stem or root of the source plant isplace in a suitable soil.
Example : Kamoteng kahoy

• Marcotting or Air layering – is a vegetative plant propagation that involves rooting apart
of the stem while it is still attached to the parent plant.
http://www.pinterest.com
Steps in Marcotting
a. Select a healthy branch.
b. Remove a ring-like layer of soft bark about 2 to 3 inches long or until you reach the bark
about 2 to 3 inches long or until you reach the hard, wood layer.
c. Apply sphagnum moss around the cut surface.
d. Cover securely with a piece of plastic sheet.
e. Tie both ends to prevent drying of the rooting medium. Keep it moist.
Grafting – a technique that vegetatively joins two plants into one. Grafted plants use the roots
and the bottom portion of one plant and attached it to a tender shoot
a. Cut the marcot just below the ball of sphagnum moss when sufficient roots develop.
b. Remove some leaves to further induce root development.
c. Place the potted in a cool and shady place.

• Budding- is the joining of two genetically different species of a particular fruit variety
through the cohesion of their cambiums. We do this to grow the kind of edible fruit we
want on a manageable size of root stock.
Horticulture.tamu.edu
1. Choose branches from the rootstock that are the size of a lead pencil up to 1/2 inch
diameter. Larger branches have too thick bark for this method to work.
2. On the rootstock, about 15 or more inches from the trunk, make a T cut across the bark.
3. With a knife blade, lift the corners and carefully loosen the bark.
4. Cut a bud from the bud stick which includes a thin piece of attached wood.
5. Slide the bud under the flaps of the bark on the rootstock until the ends are firmly un. Using
electrician's tape, tie the bud to the rootstock.
6. Wrap the ends tightly, but be sure not to cover the bud with tape.
7. In two to three weeks, cut the tie so you will not girdle the graft.
8. The next year, cut the rootstock off above the graft when the bud starts growing.
9. Remove any shoots below the graft.
10.The second year, remove all growth from the tree except the bud grafted shoots.
Sources of Fruit-Bearing Trees

Fruit-bearing trees propagated by the sexual method (use of seeds)
Avocado Citrus fruits
Star apple Chico
Cashew Guyabano or Sour sop
Guava Jackfruit
Lanzones Mabolo
Macopa Mango
Mangosteen Papaya
Rambutan Santol
Some are propagated asexually or by artificial methods: Avocado (grafting)
Banana ( rhizomes)
Star apple (marcotting) Chico ( marcotting or inarching)
Guyabano (grafting) Guava (marcotting)
Langka (marcotting) Duhat (marcotting)
Macopa (marcotting) Pineapple (suckers)
Mango (grafting) Strawberry ( runners)
Siniguelas (cuttings)
Taking Care of Fruit Tree Seedlings Here are some
ways to keep plants healthy:
▪ Water the plants twice a day. Do this in the early morning and in the late afternoon.
▪ Apply fertilizer in the soil. Use organic fertilizer.
▪ Cultivate the soil around the plants to allow the roots to breathe.
▪ Exterminate pests or insects.
The following are recommended for best results: a. Water the
plants.
b. Mix powdered chili or juice of the leaves of the neem tree with water. Keep this
overnight. Use the mixture for watering.
c. Fumigate the tree or plant using charcoal and dried leaves.
d. Remove insects and pests using hands or tweezers.
▪ Pull the grasses or weeds surrounding the plants because they compete for the nutrients
which are intended for the plants.
▪ Remove dried leaves and cut carefully the dried or infected branches.
▪ Monitor the growth of plants.
