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 and depends
on several factors: the space in your

Lodi, Why is there a need
for plant propagation?

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.

I’m sure you will be blown-up by the
importance of trees as you continue
reading the other benefits below…..

• 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. However, if
there are trees to serve as barriers and the roots
to hold the water, flood will not occur.
