Top 16 Best Descriptive Essays About Newly Planted Young Trees

The spring morning was so beautiful. A light drizzle gently fell on my hair. On my way home from school, I spotted a tiny sprout of a mango tree.

At first glance, it was small and short, resembling a little mushroom that my mother had bought at the market, but it was entirely green. At the top, two tiny leaves were still wrapped in their seed coat. A couple of days later, with the help of the spring rain, the little sprout grew quickly, and I realized it was a mango tree.

I begged my mother to let me plant the mango sprout in our garden. Since the tree was so fragile, my mother placed a fence around the base to protect it. Day by day, the plant began to grow; the two initial leaves started stretching out longer.

As time passed, the mango tree grew taller and taller. It now stands about one meter and twenty centimeters. Its once-thin trunk has now thickened, and its green bark has darkened. Fearing the strong winds of the rainy season might cause the tree to topple, my mother secured bamboo poles to the trunk to keep it upright.

After the rainy season, the tree grew sturdier with more branches and leaves. Now, it spreads a pleasant shade. I consider the mango tree my dear friend and silently promise to take good care of it so that it will continue to grow and soon bear sweet fruit.

It’s already the 4th day of Tet, just one more day until school starts. This morning, I woke up early to study for tomorrow’s first day back. The spring morning was so beautiful. A light drizzle fell gently on my hair, and the weather was no longer as cold as it had been during the Tet holidays. The sky outside the window suddenly felt so alive. And then, I noticed something: a tiny new sprout had appeared.

At first glance, it looked small and short, like a little mushroom stick my mother had bought at the market, only this one was entirely green, and at the top, the two tiny leaves were still covered by their seed coat, making it look like a little soldier wearing a metal helmet—quite adorable. A couple of days later, with the help of the spring rain, the little sprout grew fast, and I realized it was a phoenix tree sprout.

I immediately asked my mother if I could plant it in front of the house so the little phoenix tree could see its mother tree across the street. She agreed right away. So, together, we moved the young tree from the window to the front yard. Since the tree was still fragile, we surrounded its base with a small fence to protect it from being trampled.

Day by day, the phoenix tree started to grow. First, the two initial leaves, and then small phoenix leaves began to stretch out like a comb, their tiny, fresh green leaves sparkling with life. Time passed quickly, and before long, the tree was about one meter and twenty centimeters tall.

The tiny trunk that was once as small as a thumb had now thickened. Its light green bark gradually darkened. Fearing that the upcoming rainy season’s winds might knock it down, my mother secured bamboo poles to the trunk to keep it upright.

After the rainy season, the phoenix tree stood sturdier. More branches and leaves grew, and now, it spread out to provide some nice shade. As autumn came, the phoenix leaves fell in front of our yard, covering the ground with a golden carpet of tiny, yellow leaves. Watching them fall in the wind, I thought to myself that soon, the red phoenix flowers would bloom, coloring the sky.

Leaning against the tree, I quietly dreamed of a summer filled with flowers. I promised myself I would take good care of this phoenix tree so that it would beautify our home.

In response to the movement to plant trees and protect the clean and green environment, students from the fourth and fifth grades of our school planted trees along the 1A road that passes through the town center. The type of tree we planted was a newly grown eucalyptus sapling.

The seedlings were delivered to our school by the forestry department, and each class received its designated number of trees. Each student was responsible for planting two trees, with each tree spaced three meters apart. We planted the trees along the roadside. The saplings, although newly sprouted, had already grown to about 25 centimeters tall.

The roots were tightly packed in soil bags, and the stems were slender, about half the size of my pinky finger. Each tree had two long, green seed leaves. We dug holes according to the required depth and placed the saplings in the ground, covering them with soil and pressing the earth around the roots. The eucalyptus trees looked quite fragile.

To help stabilize the trees, we inserted bamboo sticks and gently tied the trunks to the sticks so they could lean on them and stay secure in the soil. A week later, we visited the trees. All of them had taken root and were growing healthily, with none of them dying. We watered the trees and left happily.

After a week, the eucalyptus trees had taken root firmly, their seed leaves had grown a little, looking fresh and crisp, not drooping. We took care of the trees, nurturing them so they could thrive. The payment for planting the trees, provided by the forestry department, was donated to the Fund for Children Affected by Agent Orange.

I felt very happy to have contributed my small part to a charitable cause, sharing the pain and misfortune of the children suffering from the consequences of war.

My grandfather enjoys planting fruit trees, and he often germinates papaya seeds in small bags of soil. Once the seeds sprout and form tiny saplings, he moves them outside to the garden.

The small papaya sapling is as slender as a pencil, only about fifteen centimeters tall. Its leaves are small, just two or three of them, but they clearly spread in a star shape. Even though the stem is still young and green, the sapling already bears the characteristic shape of a mature papaya tree.

Grandfather plants the sapling in a hole that’s been prepped with ash fertilizer. After planting, he covers it with banana leaves to protect it from the sun. Three days later, once the sapling has taken root, he removes the banana leaves. He waters the sapling every few days, as papaya trees don't tolerate excessive water; too much can cause root rot and kill the plant.

He surrounds the sapling with bamboo sticks to protect it from being trampled or disturbed by chickens or dogs. The young papaya sapling is no taller than a newly transplanted rice seedling, but it's sturdy, flexible, and full of life. Grandfather says that with proper care, in about five or six months, the papaya tree will start flowering and bearing fruit. The sight of papaya fruits will be a joy!

This tiny garden is a source of happiness for my grandfather in his old age. Besides caring for the few potted orchids and the little garden, he enjoys reciting poetry and sipping tea with his friends. I feel happy to help him water and tend to his plants.

Every spring, our school organizes a fun and meaningful event called the Tree Planting Festival. The young saplings are purchased by the school from nurseries and distributed evenly among the classes. Once the classes receive their assigned saplings, the teachers discuss with us where we will plant them in the school grounds.

It was so exciting to see the saplings! Each one was about 30 centimeters tall. Our class received a variety of Casuarina, a tree known for its wood. The saplings were carefully wrapped in plastic, with their roots still hidden inside small bags of soil. The stems were slender, no thicker than my pinky finger.

The Casuarina leaves were unique, likely because the trees are grown near the seaside in my hometown. They are long and slender, unlike those of other wood-bearing trees. The leaves resembled pine needles, long enough to stretch across the width of my hand.

The young Casuarina trees looked fragile, but we took great care to ensure they were securely planted. Each tree was supported with a bamboo stick, and we tied it to a small wooden stake to help the sapling stand tall and stable.

After planting, we felt a bit anxious, worried that the sea winds might blow over the young trees. But one week later, we went to check on them, and to our joy, they were thriving! The trees were green and healthy, likely because they are resilient and can withstand the harsh coastal conditions.

As we watched the young trees grow, we realized how important they were for protecting the local community from the shifting sands and natural disasters. Planting trees is a beautiful and meaningful task, one that should be encouraged and expanded.

"Spring is the time to plant trees
Making the country greener every day."

Every year, on the 4th day of the Lunar New Year, my parents and I plant trees to add more greenery to our family garden and remind me of the national call for tree planting initiated by President Ho Chi Minh. This year, my mother told me: "This spring, you will personally plant a peach tree and take care of it so well that every year, during Tết, our family will have a beautiful peach blossom to celebrate the New Year."

The peach tree I planted was a gift from my father, who got it from my grandmother's garden a few days before. When we brought it home, it looked very thin and weak. I carefully planted it in our front yard by digging a hole and placing the tree gently inside. The small tree was barely the size of my pinky finger and about 80 centimeters tall. Its leaves were sparse, shaped like small spears with a bright green hue.

After planting, I watered the tree and surrounded it with bamboo sticks to protect it from the wind. Every day, I checked on the tree, feeling like it was growing and changing. What appeared to be sad leaves just a few days ago were now vibrant and full of life, basking in the warm spring sunlight.

I thought to myself: I will care for this tree properly. Though it's small now, it will grow quickly, its trunk turning brown and developing many branches and leaves. I will continue to nourish it well so that it will bloom abundantly, attracting bees, butterflies, and birds. My garden will be as beautiful as my grandparents' garden.

I am very fond of my peach tree. Every day, I tend to it and silently encourage it: Grow quickly, my tree, spring is waiting for us. Suddenly, I remembered the poem 'The Song of Planting Trees' by the poet Bế Kiến Quốc:

“Whoever plants a tree,
That person is blessed.
Look forward to the tree.
May it grow stronger every day…”

Our house boasts a large garden, where rows of vegetables are tended by my mother, ornamental plants by my father, and various fruit trees by my grandmother. Some of these trees include mango, longan, star apple, and many decorative plants cared for by my grandfather. During a recent business trip to Ha Giang, my father returned with several small tangerine saplings. They were delicate and needed careful handling to bring them safely home.

He planted the saplings in the largest part of the garden, a spot where the chickens couldn’t damage the leaves. These tangerine trees are of the Ha Giang variety, famous for their juicy, sweet fruit when ripe. My mother often buys these oranges, but now that my father has planted the trees, we won’t need to buy them anymore, and I can enjoy them whenever I want.

Thinking about how quickly the trees will grow, bloom, and bear fruit makes me happy. My father brought two young trees, which are much shorter than the usual mature tangerine trees, standing at only about fifty centimeters tall. The trunks are thin, and the leaves sparse, with no fruit yet.

Since the trees had traveled a long distance, they were carefully wrapped. A small bag of soil surrounded the roots, and my father explained that keeping the soil intact was necessary for the saplings’ survival. When planting them in the garden, he carefully removed the plastic wrapping but kept the soil intact, placing the saplings into prepared holes.

Before planting, my father and I cleared a patch of land in the garden, removing the weeds. He used a hoe to loosen the soil, making it light and airy. After preparing the holes, we carefully placed the saplings inside and gently covered them with soil, ensuring the trees were stable and wouldn’t topple over.

The trees were planted some distance apart, as my father explained that when they grow, their branches would crowd each other and reduce fruit production. After planting, we watered the young trees carefully. Since they were still fragile, we made sure not to overwater them, as too much water could drown them and kill them.

Since that day, I’ve been tending to the trees every day, watering them and looking forward to their growth. It’s been such a joyful experience, and I can’t wait for the trees to grow tall and bear delicious, juicy fruit that my family and I can enjoy.

Caring for the two small tangerine trees has been a fun and fulfilling task. Every day, I see them grow a little more. If they continue growing this quickly, it won’t be long before they mature, bloom, and bear fruit. The sweet, juicy tangerines that I’ve imagined will soon become a reality.

Hàng năm cứ vào mùa xuân gia đình em lại tổ chức trồng cây trong vườn, những cây xanh được ươm mầm phát triển tươi tốt giúp khu vườn thêm đẹp. Năm nay, em được cả nhà giao trọng trách trồng cây đào.

Cây đào được chọn trồng ngay mảnh đất nhỏ trước nhà, em dùng cuốc đào một hố vừa đủ đặt gốc cây, sau khi bỏ cây xuống đất dùng tay vun đất trên gốc, xới lên thật đều. Thân cây đào còn nhỏ chỉ bằng ngón tay, mảnh khảnh, cao khoảng 50 cm, xung quanh thân cây là những chiếc lá non xanh biếc đang mọc. Sau khi lấp đất tạo sự chắc chắn cho cây đứng thẳng em tưới nước vào gốc để tạo độ ẩm cần thiết giúp làm quen với đất và phát triển.

Cứ mỗi ngày ngắm nhìn cây đào như có một diện mạo khác, khi mới trồng những chiếc lá trông héo đi chỉ sau vài ngày lá cây đã tươi tốt, tràn đầy sức sống. Sau thời gian một tuần những chiếc lá như biến thành màu xanh đậm và xuất hiện thêm những chiếc lá non mơn mởn, xanh biếc. Cứ thế hàng ngày em vẫn chăm sóc tưới nước đều đặn, thân cây ngày càng to, cao hơn chẳng mấy chốc mà đã vượt qua chiều cao của em rồi.

Nhìn cây đào phát triển cả nhà ai cũng rất vui và thán phục tài chăm sóc cây cảnh của em, ai cũng bảo Tết này có đào để chưng mà không cần mua rồi.

Mỗi năm khu vườn lại có thêm một loại cây đẹp, em rất thích chăm sóc những cây non giúp khu vườn ngày càng thêm rạng rỡ sắc màu.

Spring is the season of countless flowers blooming. On the streets, people flock to the Viêng market to celebrate Tết, blending with the golden sunlight and the vibrant colors brought by trees and flowers. My family recently bought a small lemon tree from the market to bring home for good luck. I felt immediately enchanted by it.

Every year, my family visits Viêng market to receive blessings for the new year. Everyone buys something special to wish for good fortune, and this time, the tiny lemon tree became our symbol of the spring festival. The tree is still young, standing only slightly taller than an adult's handspan. Its slender trunk is firm and sturdy. Despite its small size, the tree's green trunk sends out fresh, delicate branches. These branches, like tiny arms, stretch out, reaching for life. But don't be fooled by its young appearance—those frail branches are armed with sharp thorns, perhaps symbolizing a strong will to protect itself from life's challenges. Tiny green shoots have sprouted at the nodes of its branches. It's as if every time someone touches it, new growth emerges.

The leaves are a lush emerald green, glistening in the sunlight. The young buds cluster together, looking like beautiful green candles. Together, they represent the powerful vitality of spring that fills one's soul.

Against the backdrop of fresh green leaves and buds, a few tiny white lemon blossoms emerge, showcasing their pure beauty under the new sun. It’s no wonder that the simple beauty of these flowers captivated the poet Nguyễn Bính, who wrote, "Lemon flowers bloom amidst the lemon garden"—a beauty that is humble, simple, yet pure, much like the hearts of the people from the countryside. The fragrance of the lemon blossoms lingers gently, weaving into one's thoughts, enhancing the spring atmosphere, and filling the air with the fresh scent of life.

I carefully planted the lemon tree into the soil. Day by day, it quickly took root, absorbing nutrients deep from the earth. The trunk grew greener, the leaves became even more vibrant, and the buds thrived. I delighted in watching the tree I planted grow, imagining that soon it would be tall enough to match a person’s waist. It would bear fragrant flowers and sweet fruit that would enrich our lives. The lemons would enhance our meals, while the leaves would add flavor to dishes. The lemons also have excellent benefits for beauty, odor removal, and as a refreshing drink for hot summer days.

Looking at the young lemon tree, I imagine a beautiful future. Watching it, I also feel more responsible for planting trees and protecting the environment. These trees will help make our world cleaner and brighter.

Everyone in my family loves living in a spacious, airy environment filled with greenery and cool shade, and the fresh air. That's why we all enjoy planting trees. Our small garden is always lush and vibrant because it never lacks the caring hands of the gardener. From tall trees that spread wide shade to delicate small flowers, our garden has it all. Like family members, I also love planting trees and watching them grow, especially when they are just young saplings.

I still remember the days when I eagerly joined my mother in planting seeds in the rich soil, watering them so that they could absorb the necessary nutrients and minerals to sprout. Every day, I made sure to water them just enough. My mother said that the seeds wouldn’t grow if they got too much water or didn’t receive enough sunlight… so I was very careful in nurturing these tiny seeds.

A few days later, a tiny green shoot popped up from the smooth soil. I was so happy, and every day, I paid more attention to it, taking better care of it. As time passed, thanks to my care, the little sprout grew taller. A small trunk appeared, still so delicate that I felt it could break with just a slight touch of my finger.

At the top were two tiny leaves. They were so small, just slightly bigger than my thumb. The leaves were curved and looked like little scoops. My mother said that in a few days, the leaves would stretch out like regular ones, and after a few more days, new leaves would start to appear. I usually plant seeds in a small pot, and when the sapling grows, I bring the pot out on the balcony so it can enjoy the breeze and soak up the sunlight. Once the plant becomes sturdier, my mother and I will move it to the garden to be planted in the ground.

I really love these tiny saplings. They are the first stage of the big trees we often see around us. Perhaps I love planting trees because I adore these young plants.

When spring arrives, the green plants that have been nurtured begin to thrive, making the garden even more beautiful. One of these plants is the peach tree my dad just planted.

The peach tree is planted in a small plot of land in front of our house. Its trunk is thin, about the size of a finger, and stands around 50 cm tall. Surrounding the trunk are fresh, young leaves, just starting to grow. After planting it, my dad watered the base to create the necessary moisture for the tree to adapt to the soil and thrive.

Every day, as I watched the peach tree, it seemed to change. When it was first planted, the leaves looked wilted, but just a few days later, the leaves revived and became full of life. After about a week, the leaves turned a darker shade of green and new, vibrant leaves appeared. Every day, I continued to care for the tree, watering it regularly, and the trunk grew stronger and taller, soon surpassing my own height.

Watching the peach tree grow has made the whole family very happy. We hope it will grow quickly and bear sweet fruit soon.

My mom really loves plants, especially flowers. So, when I went to the Viềng Spring market, I bought her a small rose plant as a gift. She was so happy to receive this present, and her skillful hands planting the tree left me with unforgettable memories.

The plant, green in color, was in a small black bag. Though small, it looked sturdy and full of vitality. The stem was about the size of my pinky finger and wore a deep green coat. Around the stem were tiny, sharp thorns, which served as a powerful defense against pests. On the stem, thin branches like toothpicks reached out weakly, sprouting tiny new leaves. The rose leaves had serrated edges, and while they were small and light green at first, they would turn darker as the plant matured.

Carefully carrying the small plant to the garden, my mom dug a small hole with a hoe and sprinkled a little fertilizer to provide nutrients for the young plant. After removing the outer wrapping, she placed the rose in the hole, covering it with soil and forming a small mound around the base. The job wasn't done yet, as it was my turn to water the plant to help it grow quickly and bloom in the most stunning and fragrant flowers. Whenever I had free time, I would go out to remove any pests or pluck off the older leaves. Not long after, the plant grew rapidly, free of pests, becoming taller, stronger, and more vibrant. My mom said the rose would grow fast, and before long, it would bear the most beautiful and fragrant blooms.

I really like this rose plant. I promised myself that I would take good care of it so that it could bring fragrance and beauty to the world.

The great leader of our nation – Ho Chi Minh – once taught:

“Spring is the time to plant trees,

Making the country greener and greener each day.”

Perhaps because of these teachings, every year during the Lunar New Year, our school organizes tree-planting activities for the students. This year, our class has been assigned to plant a banyan tree beside the classroom building. Everyone is excited to take care of this special tree.

Unlike the towering banyan trees at the entrance, this one is still very small. It's about half a meter tall and has a trunk no thicker than an adult's finger. It looks just like a little child. Because we see the banyan tree as our younger sibling, our class takes turns caring for it. Every time we water the tree, its leaves gently sway as if they're welcoming the water. Wow! It seems like the water helps the tree grow even better. After just a few days, the buds on the leaf stems have begun to sprout. The banyan leaves grow around the trunk, so it looks like the tree will soon have many branches. The leaves are as large as an adult's palm, smooth on the surface, but not in a lush green color. Each leaf is mixed with shades of reddish-brown. The tiny leaves at the tip are a purplish-red, and the veins stand out, forming a beautiful fishbone pattern. White butterflies flutter around the banyan, as if they sense that the tree is still too young to settle on. The spring breeze is gentle, as though it is afraid of the tree toppling over. Only the spring sunshine continuously showers it with warmth, helping it grow faster.

I really enjoy watching this young banyan tree! Our class imagines that soon the tree will grow tall and spread its branches, providing shade for all the students. I hope that when we grow up and return to visit our school, this 'little sibling' banyan will have become as tall as a green umbrella.

Last Sunday, I had the chance to visit my hometown. During this trip, not only did I get to see my grandparents and relatives, but I also stayed with them for a few days, cooking together, gardening, and most importantly, planting trees with my grandfather. The sapling my grandfather planted was a jackfruit tree.

Before planting, I saw my grandfather storing the seeds in a sealed bag, waiting for them to sprout before planting them in the soil. Once the seeds had sprouted with the first tiny shoots, my grandfather carefully placed them into the loose soil that he had already prepared, covering them with another layer of earth.

Each day, under my grandfather's gentle care, the seedling grew into a vibrant, green sapling. It reached nearly a meter in height, with a dark brown trunk as thin as a rooster's leg. The tree was still fragile, and its base was not very sturdy. The roots were delicate, still growing deep into the soil, drawing nutrients to nourish the plant.

The young jackfruit tree had already sprouted five or six branches that spread out around the trunk. Each branch was flexible and could easily be snapped. On these branches, small new leaves were beginning to grow. Some leaves were tiny, about the size of two fingers held together, while others were larger, roughly the size of a primary school child's hand. My grandfather said that the first leaves are the most precious because they form the foundation for the tree's future growth.

Each day, the young tree stood in the vast garden, absorbing the essence of nature to grow, its leaves swaying in the wind, basking in the sun, and drinking in the rain with all the energy it could muster. Since it was still a young sapling, my grandfather took great care in tending to it, teaching me to water it carefully without overdoing it, as too much water could cause the tree to rot. Following his advice, I always watered the tree just enough, and every day I watched it grow, filled with joy.

For the tree to reach a stage where it bears fruit, it will take a long time, unlike climbing plants or flowering trees that can grow and bloom quickly. I believe our jackfruit tree will follow a similar path. But no matter how long it takes, my grandfather and I always look forward to the day when the tree grows into a massive, towering tree, providing shade with its branches weighed down by the heavy fruit.

My grandfather has always said that planting trees requires patience and waiting. I, too, will wait for the tree to grow, eagerly anticipating the day when we can enjoy the delicious jackfruit. I will continue to care for the tree, ensuring it thrives and flourishes.

When I was younger, I lived with my grandparents. My grandmother had a great love for flowers, so she often bought young plants from the market to plant in the small garden at the front of our house. There were many beautiful flowers, but my favorite were the tiny rose bushes that my grandmother would buy to plant at the edge of the garden.

One day, my grandmother returned from the market carrying a small green sapling that was no bigger than my little finger. Around the stem were tiny thorns, which some might overlook, but these thorns serve to protect the plant from pests. As the rose bush matures, these thorns will become sharper and more prominent.

The small branches, thin as toothpicks, reached out feebly, supporting the young leaves. The rose leaves were covered with a thin serrated edge. They were light green, but as they grew, they would darken to a deep green, and the serrated edges would become sharper. Grandma gently removed the plant from the plastic bag and called Grandpa to plant it in the garden.

Grandpa then took a hoe and began to loosen the soil, creating a small depression for the plant to stand firmly. He then placed the sapling in the hole, covered the base with more soil, and formed a small mound at the root to help secure it in place. My job was to water the plant so that it could grow quickly and bloom, spreading its fragrance.

Within a week of care, the plant had already grown noticeably. The leaves turned a darker shade of green, and the stem grew sturdier. Grandma said that roses grow quickly, and after a little more time, the plant would grow large and bloom with fragrant flowers. I loved my grandmother's rose plant. Each time I watered it, I silently wished for it to grow faster so I could admire the beauty of the blooming roses.

My father recently bought me a small plant pot that I can place near the window. I decided to grow a cock's comb flower in it.

At first, I filled the pot with soil and then sowed the cock's comb seeds. Every day, I watered it just a little. Over time, the plant began to sprout. I was very excited when I saw the tiny shoots of the plant emerging. Soon, the cock's comb started growing small leaves.

The plant had two tiny leaves of a light green color. I took good care of it, and soon it grew taller and stronger. The cock's comb plant is now about twenty centimeters tall, and it's spreading out with many branches. Each branch has two or three leaves.

As the plant grew, its leaves turned from green to red, and the leaves became larger. Since this is a red cock's comb, the whole plant has a red color, and its flowers are also red, which looks really beautiful.

I water the plant every day, so it's thriving and looking healthy. One day, I even asked my mother for some fertilizer to give it a boost, and it has been growing really fast. I love looking at my cock's comb plant now. I'll continue to care for it to ensure it grows well and produces the most beautiful flowers.
