Note 3059 — BOOK XVII. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE CULTIVATED TREES. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
The maple, linden, elm, and arundo donax, are still employed, as well as the willow, for this purpose; the latter, however, but very rarely. The account of its cultivation here given is borrowed from Columella, De Re Rust. B. iv. c. 30.
