Elm and pine seedlings send out at

roots, on the other hand, are more
vigorous, and give the tree a firm hold
in the soil.
The common method OF training a
tree is first to drive a stake firmly
into the ground beside it, and then
to place strap around both tree and
stake, says this authority. Animals
often injure trees-particularly apple
trees. AS a protection, a wire net

inclose the base of the tree. A trellis.
