SHADING
 
The young tree of durian, rambutan, lanzones and mangosteen require shading especially during summer as the leaves are easily scorched by the sun's heat. Nurse tree like neem tree, kakawate, and banana can be planted in between the trees to serve as shade. During the rainy season, however, the shade trees should be pruned so as not to cover the cultivars completely

WINDBREAKS

      Planting windbreakers trees is very beneficial particularly if your are is prone to typhoon. It will protect the trees from the damage as a strong wind may cause.

     Windbreaker trees should be compatible with the cultivars planted and should not shade trees that need full sunlight. Neem tree are ideal windbreakers which can be top-pruned to avoid excessive shading. Planting mahogany around the perimeter competes with fruit trees in absorbing water and nutrients, thus should not be planted very closely to the cultivars. Bamboo is also not an ideal windbreaker because it makes the soil acidic and shades the trees.
