Propagating Trees and
Fruit Trees
Planting and Caring
for the Plants
1. Choose seeds
2. Sow seeds in seedbeds with good soil
3. Plants seeds horizontally about 3 centimeters
deep.
4. Water the sown seeds thoroughly
5. Grow the seedlings preferably in a propagating
shed
6. Apply fungicides to avoid infestation.
7. When three or four leaves have sprouted and
the height of 10 centimeters or more has been
attained, potting may start.
8. Place pots or bags in partially shaded area.
 Methods of
Propagating Trees
1. Seed- this is a sexual type of propagation. This means that
some seeds may not have the quality characteristics of their
parents and hence, are inferior in yield and product.
2. Sucker- this is an asexual type of propagation. It refer to
stems or shoots emerging from portions of plants or trees.
3. Runners- these are the slim branches that grow from bases
of stems running along the ground.
4. Rhizomes- the roots emerge at the surface from which new
plants develop from buds.
5. Cutting- is a type of propagation which refers to a part of
the plant that is cut and propagated.
6. Grafting- is a process in which the stem of one plant( stock)
is inserted into another plant(scion).
7. Layering- is a process wherein an uncut branch or a shoot
touches the ground or soil and develops roots and becomes
independent plant.
8. Marcotting- is a proces where a ring of bark on a large
branch is removed, the inner surface scraped lightly then
wrapped with moist soil.
9. Budding- is a form of grafting using a single bud as the
scion.
10. Inarching- is a process where the scion is united with its
rootstock.
 Ways of Preventing and
Controlling Pests and Diseases
Fungicides and Pesticides must be used regularly for the
proper control of diseases.

Fungal Attack- on plants are shown by the brown spots

formed on leaves.

Pruning (cutting) of infected parts in the early stages of

infection is recommended.
