Let Us Embrace Culture For Growing Trees

Let Us Embrace Culture For Growing Trees. Just planting trees, will not offer any help in our fight against climate change. We need to help the tree grow and make it to a point where it can survive on its own.

Planting versus Growing of trees

Planting trees are easy but growing them, needs more work and commitment. Hence yielding the desired results.

It doesn’t help if we manage to plant huge numbers of trees, only for them to die after a few days. We would rather just plant a few and ensure they grow to maturity.

To effectively improve our forest cover, we need to do more of growing trees than planting.

What does growing trees entails?

Growing trees ensures that the tree reaches maturity.

For a tree to survive until maturity, we have to take care of the following factors:

Plant the right trees in the places we choose we have trees

Choosing the right tree species is vital for a successful tree growing.

You should make an effort to understand the native trees to that area. And also invest in indigenous tree species. As they have higher chances of surviving the weather and other environmental conditions of that place.

Information is available all over the forest organizations’ website or any other place online. Do a little digging of the right information to avoid growing wrong tree species in the wrong places.

Going for the fast growing trees

Due to the current harsh environmental conditions, it will be best if considered planting fast-growing trees.

Not only will they grow faster, but also survive to maturity.

The aim is to have as many trees as possible grow. Hence improve on our forest cover.

Ensuring that the planted trees are watered regularly if the area has inadequate rains

Water is life.

Water is very important for a growing tree. And it may be scarce in some areas. So in such areas, you will need to supply this vital commodity to it.

Fencing around them

New tiny seedlings may easily be consumed by animals or stepped on by humans.

To offer them protection from such incidences, you will need to have some kind of protective wall. It may be a net or few planks of wood. Strong enough to keep the intruders away.

Frequent visits

For you to confirm that your tree is growing, it will need you to pay it several visits. Which will allow you to do the needed checks.

The trees successful growth will need a good fraction of your time.

Encourage more people to join and do the same

It’s always good to include others after teaching them the importance of the action. Help them understand the importance of trees and why they should grow more. You will, therefore, manage to have more trees growing under the collected care.

The many, the merrier.
