Plate 18b: Siting trees on terraces

Trees can also be planted on terrace edges in order to stabilize the
structure and make maximum use of the land. Trees planted on the
edge of a terrace will not have ideal moisture conditions but are
effective for stabilizing the soil. Fruit trees, which need the best
moisture conditions, can be planted just below the edge of the terrace
where they can benefit from run-off and more moisture generally.
