Planting the trees

Successfully planting a tree in agroforestry does not only mean buying good quality seedlings. Die off after planting is primarily attributable to inadequate management beforehand. Drying out of roots or exposure to excess sun, wind, or frost can substantially hamper the development of young trees.
