Planting and propagating trees and fruit trees is a source of livelihood for many Filipinos.
You do not need huge tracts of land to plant trees. A small space in your backyard can be used to
plant calamansi, papaya, and banana.

to grow for every 15 to 20 female papayas. Intercropping is a method where papaya can be
grown together with coconuts, coffee, pineapple or bananas. It increases farm income and
prevent the growth of weeds and/or grasses.
Sources of fruit-bearing trees
Fruit-bearing trees are available and sold in different stages of growth and ready to be
transplanted. Among their sources are:
Commercial Nursery- Run by private individuals usually offering landscaping materials
and services.
Agricultural Institution – A school that offers a course related to agriculture and other plant
studies.
Department of Agriculture- Responsible for any agricultural activities in terms of
vegetables and fruits.
Bureau of Plant Industry – They develop scientific improvement for each plant species in a
locality and adjacent places.
Famous Orchard Farms in the Philippines

Thailand and and Indonesia. Many often says. “ It smells like hell, but it tastes like heaven”. The
flesh is rich in carbohydrate, proteins, vitamins ( thiamine, riboflavin and Vitamins A and C),
and minerals (calcium, phosphorous, potassium and iron). The flesh is eaten fresh or processed
into jams, marmalade, spread, pastillas, or flavouring for ice cream, candies, cakes and rolls.

1. Place the fruit-bearing trees in a well-lit spot but not in direct sunlight.
2. Use well-draining soil and water it often, but don't make it too soggy.
3. It's better to use seeds from young fruit as they are more viable and plant them in dry
season.
4. When the seedling is large enough, repot it into a larger container with some fresh potting
mix.
5. When planting the seedling, make sure that the seed is half exposed to the air.

Layout procedures:
Follow the procedure for the layout of a square system. In addition to this, mark the center of each
square with stake for the filler plants by drawing the diagonals.
D. Hexagonal / Triangular System
This system accommodates 15% more plants than square system. The plants are planted at the corner of
equilateral triangle. Thus, six trees are planted making a hexagon. Seventh tree is planted in the center.
This is very intense method of planting and hence requires fertile land. In the suburb of cities where land
is costly, this system is worth adopting. However, the laying out of the system is hard and cumbersome.
Layout procedures
1. Establish a base line on one side of the field as in the square system.
2. Mark the position of trees on the base line at the desired distance and fix the stakes. Make
equilateral triangles on the base line maintaining the sides of the triangles equal to plant-to-plant
distance.
3. Mark all the triangles with stakes and join them into a line to form the second line of trees.
Similarly, make equilateral triangles on the second line and cover the whole land.

E. Contour system.
If the land is rugged and steep, follow the contour of the hillside. It is adopted in hilly areas for
planting fruit plants where land is undulated, and soil erosion is a great threat. The contour system helps
prevent or reduce erosion and conserve moisture. The layout is started from the lowest level and the tree
rows are planted along uniform slopes at right angle to the slope with a view to reduce loss of top-soil
due to erosion. The width of contour terrace varies according to the slope of the hill. On steep or rugged
sites, contour systems help prevent or reduce erosion and conserve moisture. Since rainfall, slope, soil,
and other conditions vary in different parts of the country, growers use various arrangements. At the
present time, growers use terraces in contour systems when additional erosion control is needed.
Layout procedures:
Contour system is a little more complicated than any other system of layout since planting has to be
done on slopes. For the procedure, mark contours at a distance equal to row-to-row distance on each
contour lines. The contours may be of full length or less than full length depending on variations in the
degree of slope.
Since rainfall, slope, soil, and other conditions vary in different parts of the country, growers use
various arrangements. At the present time, growers use terraces in contour systems when additional
erosion control is needed. In commercial operations, no matter which orchard layout is used, a
minimum.
25- to 30-foot turnaround should be left at the ends of rows to allow easy movement of any equipment
and machinery.
Determining Planting Distances
Proper spatial arrangement is very important in new plantings. Aligning the trees carefully not only
improves the orchard’s appearance, but it also makes orchard operations easier.Individual tree or plant
sites can be indicated with a stake. The number of plants required to plant an acre can be determined by
multiplying the distance between trees in the row by the distance between rows and then dividing the
figure into the number of square feet in an acre (43,560).
Determining Home Orchard Size
Not all people enjoy all fruits. Evaluate your family situation and plant those fruits that best meet your
needs. The number of plants that will supply the annual needs for fresh and processed fruit for a family
of five is listed in Table 1.

LET’S LEARN
Orchard – is an intentional planting of trees that is maintained for food production.
Plat – is a map showing the divisions of a piece of land.
Cumbersome – large or heavy and therefore difficult to use, unmanageable.
Undulated- have a wavy form or outline.
Contour – an outline especially of a curving or irregular figure.
Nematodes– microscopic round worms found in soil.
Subsoil – is the layer of soil under the topsoil on the surface of the ground.
Stump – the bottom part of a tree left projecting from the ground after most of the trunk has fallen or
been cut down.
Intercultural operations–permits the intercropping and cultivation even with the use of mechanical
operations.

3. These plants are uprooted as soon as the main plants of the orchard resume their proper shape.
a. shrubs b. fillers c. weeds d. stump
4. How many trees are planted in a hexagonal system?
a. 4 b. 5 c. 6 d. 3
5. Which layout system is used on hillsides, slopes, and rugged sites?
a. diamond b. square c. rectangle d. contour
What I Have Learned
If you choose to produce several fruit types in your home orchard, you will most likely have
more fruits than your family can use. Only plant what you enjoy eating and avoid the chore of caring
for more plants than you really need.
Most growers prefer to arrange their orchards in straight rows for ease of working. Thus,
rectangular system accommodates more plants in rows. The plants get proper space and sunlight for
their growth and development.
Choosing the right pattern for your orchard project will depend on the shape, terrain, and slope
of the land.
