Talk about Integrity and wisdom, I don't have..

Talk about experience on planting tree and ensuring healthy tree, I still have a bit lah.
Method 1To make the trunk of the tree grow bigger, normally we shorter the roots. This will shorten the life span of the tree and may even killed it.
Method 2To make the trunk of the tree grow bigger, can cut the roots shorter but remember to trim the branches. This will enable to tree to trunk grow bigger, but life still shortened. However, it is likely to survive with short roots.
Method 3Regular trimming of branches. This will allow the roots to grow deeper, secondly, by trimming the tree (injuring the tree), we actually activated their immune system again germs and virus attack.
To grow a short tree with fat trunk, you can use method 2.
To grow a tall tree with long life, you will definitely have to use method 3.

Hence, don't just plant a nice looking tree..when actually it can't withstand strong wind and virus attacks.
Hopefully, you can understand my english..
