Module 8: Plan for Expansion of Planting Trees Grow Seedling by Pulling
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer planting lands of crops. Every day,
he went to the field to watch the crops grow. He noticed the seedlings growing little
by little each day. He thought they were growing too slowly and got impatient with
the young plants. "How could these plants grow faster?", he thought. Bothered by
this question, he couldn’t fall asleep. Suddenly he hit upon an idea which he couldn't
wait to practice. He jumped from the bed and rushed to the field immediately. One
by one, he pulled up the seedlings by half an inch under the moonlight. He did not
finish pulling until the next morning. Straightening his back, he said to himself,
"What a wonderful idea! Look, how much taller the plants have grown in one night!"
With great satisfaction, he went back home. He told his son what he had done in a
triumphant tone. His son was shocked. Now the sun had risen. The young man was
heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.

seedling production, plan a possible design and layout on the expansion of planting

Trees suitable for city planting must be tolerant of city dust, able to
