CHAPTER VII CARE IN PLANTING TREES "RACTICAL application of the physiological knowledge contained in the preceding chapters is needful at the very start, namely, when tirst establishing a tree. The first cause of trouble in transplanted trees and of death is not unfrequcntly to be found in the ignorance and lack of care exhibited before and during transplanting. Many trees set out are dead or are doomed to death before they reach the plant hole. Transplanting a tree from oiie site to another is a surgical operation during which the patient needs special attention. It is rarely, if at all, possible to take up all the fine root- lets with their root-hairs intact; these adhere closely to the soil particles, hence in the attempt to remove them a portion of the feeding apparatus is always mechanically destroyed. Next, the delicate root-hairs and fibrils are apt to dry out when exposed to the air, especially in windy, sunny, dry weather, and thus another portion of the feeding apparatus is lost; lastly, with larger specimens, the far-lying roots can practically not be reached and a third portion of the root system is cut off. Furthermore, if the plant material is shipped any distance, the vital activities are interrupted, temperature and moisture conditions may be unfavorable during transshipment and a partial drying out of roots, buds, or foliage is the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Fernow, B.
