This document provides guidance on selecting, planting, and establishing trees. It discusses choosing the right species by considering the site conditions like light, soil, moisture, and pests. Proper nursery stock should be inspected for quality. Trees are planted according to their type, ensuring the root flare is at grade level. Backfilling, staking if needed, mulching, and regular watering are important aftercare steps to ensure new trees become established. Ongoing maintenance like pruning and protection from lawnmowers is also discussed. The goal is selecting trees well-suited to the site conditions and providing proper aftercare so they grow healthy and thrive in the landscape.
A tree is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, supporting branches and leaves in most specie, they give a mass effect and beautiful look to the localities.
The cultivation of tree is called arboriculture.
The place where trees are grown either for landscaping or for scientific study is known as arboretum

Plant selection criteria for landscaping in gulbargaeSAT Journals
Abstract
Plants are part and parcel of any urban landscape. Plants in urban areas serve many functions. They are preferred for climatic,
environmental, visual, medicinal, functional and religious purposes. Planting design being a part of process of landscaping, it needs
to be based on site conditions. Gulbarga poses limiting conditions for growth of plants in terms of hot dry climate, soil type and water
quality and physical environment. Plant selection becomes a major task in landscape process. Analyses of effects of these limiting
conditions on plants are necessary to make planting successful. Plant selection criteria are worked out based on the limiting factors
and adaptability of the plants to make landscaping successful.
Keywords: plants in urban environment, planting design, hot dry climate, black soil, hard water, plant selection, criteria

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

CHAPTER XXVI PUBLIC TREES
Local nurseries
http://www.arborday.org
9. Choosing nursery stock
Trees are generally available in three forms
Containerized
Balled and Burlapped ( B & B )
Bare Root
10. What to look for in nursery
stock
Inspect Trees for Quality and Health
Vigorous plant
Good twig extension - growth
Good branch spacing and trunk taper
Evenly distributed, healthy foliage
Solid, moist root ball
Abundant roots, light in color
11. What to avoid in nursery stock
Inspect for Poor quality plants
Missing or damaged central leader
Mechanical injury, damage to bark, trunk or
branches
Desiccated, discolored or shriveled leaves
Girdled, circling, or kinked roots
12. What to avoid in nursery stock
Soft, brown or black non-woody roots
Presence of insects or disease
Discolored, sunken, or swollen areas of trunk
13. Tree Installation: Planting
Seasons, Proper Timing
Bare Root: early spring as soon as soil
becomes workable
Container and B&B: early fall through late
spring
Plantings done in summer require more
watering and maintenance, are more prone
to failure
14. Tree Installation: Pre-planting
Care
Protect Trees From
Mechanical injury
Desiccation, (drying out)
Overheating
Trees should be planted soon after purchase or
heeled in, in cool, sheltered location and kept
moist
Always carry trees by the root ball or container,
never lift tree by the trunk, this extra movement
causes the fine feeder roots to break away and die
15. Tree Installation: Planting Site
Preparation
Planting hole should accommodate root
system comfortably
Hole should be 2-3 times width of root ball,
sloping down to width of root ball at base
Hole should be just deep enough to allow
root collar or trunk flare to be level or
slightly higher than surface grade
17. Tree Installation: Plant
Preparation
Due to production techniques, B&B and
container trees often arrive planted too deep
in the ball
It is imperative that the natural root flare be
located before planting
Top of root ball should be even or slightly
higher than surrounding grade when planted
18. Tree Installation: Planting Site
Soil Conditions
Heavy clay, poorly drained, and compacted soil
Hole should be dug wider and shallower to allow as
much as 4 inches of root ball to protrude above
surrounding grade.
Gradually slope the soil up from the grade to meet the
edge of the rootball.
Do not dig deeper than necessary, tree needs firm
support to keep from settling.
Soil removed from hole should be used as backfill, soil
amendments have not proven beneficial.
19. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Bare Root Trees
Vital that roots be kept moist
Normally planted only in dormant season
If not planted immediately, must be stored cold
( 32- 40 degrees F )
Dig planting hole no deeper than root collar
(point where roots flare from trunk)
Dig planting hole wide enough to allow even
distribution and spreading of roots
20. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Bare Root Trees
Plant tree on small cone shaped mound within
planting hole
Spread roots evenly over mound
Adjust trees depth to allow root collar to match
surrounding grade
Add backfill in layers until hole is ¾ full
Water gently to remove air pockets, adjust tree
and complete fill
21. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Bare Root Trees
Because the root system is limited, bare root
trees frequently require staking.
22. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Containerized Trees
Tree should be well rooted and established in
the container
Gently remove container and inspect for
circling roots
Make 4-5 vertical cuts along side of root mass
with sharp knife to sever any circling roots
Gently tease roots out of root mass to prevent
girdling
23. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Containerized Trees
Lower tree into hole making sure top of root
mass is at or slightly higher than surrounding
grade, adjust tree to upright position
Backfill layers of soil over the roots until hole
is ½ full
Lightly tamp soil with hand or shovel to
remove air pockets
Complete backfill and water thoroughly
24. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Balled and Burlapped Trees
Root ball size is based on trunk caliper
Ball should not be excessively wet or dry
Ball should be held securely with twine and
burlap, wire basket for larger trees
Trunk should be centered in root ball
Trunk should not move independently of root
ball
26. Tree Installation: Appropriate
B&B Root Ball Size
Ratios for appropriate root ball depth
Root ball with less than 20 inch diameter, depth
not less than 75% of diameter
With diameters 20-30 inches, not less than 70%
of diameter
With diameters 30-48 inches, not less than 60%
of diameter
27. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Balled and Burlapped Trees
Always handle tree by root ball
Remove wire basket ( if present ) completely if the root
ball will stay together.
If root ball appears slightly loose, leave wire basket in place
and remove at least the upper 1/3 after placing in hole
Remove burlap completely if synthetic or treated, it
will NOT biodegrade
Gently lower or roll root ball into hole
28. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Balled and Burlapped Trees
Adjust tree to upright position
Backfill layers of soil until hole is ½ full
Lightly tamp soil to eliminate air pockets
Remove all twine from around trunk to prevent
girdling
Remove top 1/3 of wire basket if it wasn’t
removed earlier
29. Tree Installation: Planting
Procedures
Balled and Burlapped Trees
Cut away bulap from the top 1/3 of root ball
allowing water to freely penetrate to the roots
Complete backfilling and water thoroughly
Remove all tags and labels to prevent girdling
limbs
30. Tree Installation: Common
Planting Problems
Planting too deep – suffocates roots
Planting too shallow – roots dry out
Hole too narrow – root system struggles to
establish
Soft fill added to bottom of hole – plant settles too
deeply
Twine left on trunk – girdles trunk
Wire basket left intact – girdles roots
Container tree circling roots left intact – root
system girdles
31. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Mulching benefits
Conserves moisture
Reduces turf grass, weed competition
Protects from lawnmower, trimmer damage
Apply over root system out to drip line (branch tips)
Apply 3-4 inch depth, mulch should not touch trunk of
tree
Bark chips, ground bark, pine needles, compost are best
32. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Common Mulching Mistakes
Mulch too deep – water does not reach root
system
Volcano mulching (mulch piled up against tree
trunk) – traps moisture against trunk,
encourages fungal activity,results in decay of
wood and insect activity, encourages shallow
rooting
33. Mulching
CORRECT INCORRECT
Mulch Volcano– decay has
started due to moisture being
trapped on the trunk
34. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Watering
Single most important task
Watering timetable depends on
Rainfall received
Moisture holding capacity of soil
Drainage characteristics of site
General rule – 1 inch every 7 to 10 days during
first growing season
35. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Watering
Inspect once a week to determine if watering is
necessary
Inspect more often during hot, dry weather
Deep, infrequent watering is best
Water slowly and lightly
36. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Common Watering Mistakes
Over watering – suffocates root system
Rapid, frequent watering – encourages shallow
rooting
Hard, fast watering – causes soil compaction,
runoff, water does not reach root system
Frequent trunk wetting – encourages fungal
activity, decay
37. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New tree
Fertilization
Not recommended at time of planting
Research has shown it to be ineffective until
tree has re-established its root system
38. Tree Installation: Sustaining
the New Tree
Mycorrhizae – naturally occurring in native
forest soils -- beneficial fungi that help tree roots
absorb water and nutrients
Research has shown to have limited benefits
May be beneficial in poor quality sub-soil
where topsoil, organic layers have been
removed
39. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Pruning
Limit at planting time to removing broken,
crossing, rubbing branches, alleviating
structure problem
Remove basal sprouts
Encourage a central leader
Leave lower branches on the tree to stimulate
root and trunk diameter growth
40. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Common Pruning Mistakes
Do not thin the tree to compensate for root loss
Do not raise lower limbs, these will help add
girth to trunk and root growth
Pruning paints and sealers do not prevent decay
or promote rapid closure, not recommended
41. Pruning
Flush cutting
branch back to
trunk is incorrect,
it wounds the
trunk and causes
decay. Make the
cut along branch
collar.
42. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Staking or guying
Only when necessary, bare root, small
container, large tree especially conifers,
exposed or windy site
Attached to tree low on trunk
Use soft flexible web belting or other soft,
wide, flexible material
43. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New tree
Staking or guying
Used to prevent movement of root system--
movement of top of tree is desirable and will
strengthen tree
Should be checked regularly to prevent girdling
and removed after one year
Do not drive stake into root ball, anchor firmly
outside of planting hole
44. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New tree
Common Staking Mistakes
Using wire or thin rope around trunk – will
damage, tear bark and girdle trunk if left on too
long
45. Common Staking Mistakes
Staking left on too long – result in weak tree
unable to support itself
46. Tree Establishment: Sustaining
the New Tree
Trunk Protection
Short tubing may be used to protect from string
trimmers
Trunk wraps are not recommended
Recent research shows--
Temperature differentials are greater at bark with wrap
Holds moisture on bark leading to fungal, insect activity
47. Tree Establishment: Just the
Beginning
All trees planted will need care and
attention throughout their life span.
Future ongoing maintenance should be a
part of your tree planting plans.
