The document discusses the importance of trees and provides information about growing and maintaining trees. It covers topics like tree biology, tree functions, different types of forests, cultural influences of trees, and techniques for propagating, planting, watering and caring for trees. The document emphasizes that trees are vitally important for the environment and urges readers to learn about and protect trees.

5. 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
6. 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
7. 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)
8. 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
9. '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
12. Pruning & Tree Care Arborist or arboriculturist Many arborists follow the concept of "harvesting the sun" when pruning fruit trees.
13. 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

17. 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
18. 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

Recent root excavation studies in the Environmental Horticulture Department at the University of Florida, IFAS, are beginning to suggest that a different generalized tree root model may be operating where a tap root may or may not exist, lateral roots extend far beyond the drip line, and fine roots are concentrated in the top 12 inches of soil with many in the top 2 inches. Existence of a tap root appears to be dependent on the tree species, tree age, soil profile and whether the tree was grown in the field from seed or transplanted from a nursery container. For instance, oaks will frequently develop a tap root, whereas maples often do not. The tap root can become less prominent as the tree ages and develops an extensive lateral root system. At planting, tap roots of container-grown plants are often cut, causing initiation of lateral branch roots. These roots either grow down to form multiple tap roots or stay fairly shallow, depending on soil condition. Roots grow close to the surface in soil that is highly compacted or low in oxygen content. This appears to be evident on tap-rooted and non-tap-root species. Therefore, in urban environments, where soil is often compacted, tap roots rarely can be found.
An arborist , or (less commonly) arboriculturist , is a professional in the practice of arboricultur e , which is t he cultivation , management, and study o f individual trees , shrubs , vines , and other pere nnial woody plants . Arbori sts g enerally focus on the heal th and saf ety of indiv idual plants and trees, rather than managing forests (the domains of Forestry and Silviculture ) or harvesting wood. An arbori st's scope of work is th erefore distinct from that of eit her a forester or a logger , though the professions share much in common.

Equatorial rainforests, often considered the "real rainforest," are characterized by more than 80 inches (2,000 mm) of rain annually spread evenly throughout the year. These forests have the highest biological diversity and have a well-developed canopy "tier" form of vegetation. Roughly two-thirds of the world's tropical wet forests can be considered the equatorial type. These forests are near the equator where there is very little seasonal variation and the solar day is a constant length all year round. The greatest expanses of equatorial rainforest are found in lowland Amazonia, the Congo Basin, the Southeast Asian islands of Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. Tropical moist forests are found at a greater distance from the equator where rainfall and day length vary seasonally. These forests get "only" 50 inches (1,270 mm) of rain annually and are markedly distinguished from equatorial rainforests by a cooler dry season. During this dry season, many trees shed some or even all their leaves, creating a seasonal reduction of canopy cover and allowing more sunlight to reach the forest floor. The increased sunlight reaching the forest floor allows the growth of vigorous understory vegetation not found in lowland equatorial forest. Such moist forest is found in parts of South America, the Caribbean, West Africa, and Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka.
