Abstract

In some respects trees may be regarded as crop and their culture Agriculture. Their haphazard introduction in our Farms without any consideration of their actual needs and of the condi- tions prevailing in the locality may often end in failure. Various factors govern their distribution of which the most important is the amount of moisture in the soil. With reference to this factor trees may be easily grouped into (1) those which love moisture and (2) those which can resist drought either of a periodic or permanent nature. As a rule trees flourish well in places that receive a large amount of rainfall and a careful selection is therefore necessary only of those that can endure drought due to low annual rainfall and high temperature. Intensity of light has also to be considered.
