Why We Need Trees!
Having more trees around your home and office canmake a huge difference in anyone's life. As we go
about our day to day activities, many of us are
often distracted by various factors that could be
prevented if more trees were present. Sound crazy'
Well, it's not! In urban areas, it is proven
that temperatures and noise levels are higher
than in their surrounding countryside. The
countryside also has lower air pollution problems.
Why do you think this is' Right, because the
countryside has more trees! Because of today's
technology, we are able to see just how
beneficial trees really are to mankind. Trees
have many benefits, everything from giving you a
healthier environment to a better looking yard.
With strategic placement, trees can actually
lower your air conditioning bill by an average of
30%! Everyone can do their part to plant trees
and help the community.
If you think trees would be hard to plant or grow,
you're completely wrong. Don't be thrown off by
their size and complexity, trees are very easy to
plant, and even easier to grow from seed. Many
people find the hardest part of planting or
growing a new tree to be the process of choosing
which tree or trees to go with. Since there are
so many variations in trees such as size and
shape, the type of care needed to maintain it,
growth habits, and environmental requirements,
the type of tree you choose needs to be planned
out carefully as this decision will affect you
throughout the possible lifetime you stay at your
home.
Why is it easier to grow a tree from seed rather
than plant an already growing tree' Well, for as
long as trees have been around, their seeds have
been germinating and sprouting naturally, without
the help of humans. For the most part, when seeds
are sown in the fall, they will usually begin to
germinate and sprout by spring. You will need to
check with the seed vendor as far as what depth
the tree seeds need to be planted. If you plant
them too deep, this can definitely delay the
germination and sprouting process. Some seed
varieties may not sprout by spring, they make
take 2 or 3 years to get out of their dormant
state.
Don't think that planting a tree is hard, we just
said that growing a new one is easier. By knowing
the mistakes beginners usually make, and how you
can avoid them, it should be a breeze for you to
plant a tree. Most beginners will make the
mistake of planting a tree in a hole that is too
narrow and too deep. If the hole is too narrow,
the roots cannot expand to reach the necessary
amount of nutrients. If the hole is too deep, the
roots won't have access to the much needed oxygen.
An easy way to avoid this, is to transplant a
tree in soil that is no deeper than the soil in
which they were originally grown.
Once you've got your new tree up and going, it is
great to take care of it to insure that it stays
very healthy and maintains a full life. The most
common and easiest maintenance for a tree is
fertilizer. The primary reason to fertilize is
an obvious reason, to improve the tree's health.
Just like humans, trees can suffer from diseases
and stress depending on its environmental
surroundings. Fertilizers are a great way to
combat this.
