tree be not annoyance but an helpe to his fellowes for trees as all other things of thâ—â—â— mâ— kâ—nd should shroud and not hurt one another And assure your selfe that euery touch of trees as well vnder as aboue the earth is hurtfull Therefore this must be a generall rule in this Artâ— That no tree in an Orchard well ordered nor bough nor Cyon drop vpon or touch his fellowes Let no man thinke this vnpossible but looke in the eleuenth Chapter of dressing of trees If they touch the winde will cause a forcible ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ Young twigs are tender if boughes or armes touch ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ if they are strong they make great galls No kind of touch therefore in trees can be good Now it is to be considered what distance amongst sets is requisite and that must be gathered from the compasse and roomth that each tree by probability will take and fill And herein I am of a contrary opinion to all them which practise or teach the planting of trees that euer yet I knew read or heard of For the common space betweene tree and tree is ten foot if twenty foot it is thought very much But I suppose twenty yards distance is small enough betwâ—xt tree and tree or rather too too little For the distance must needs be as far as two trees are well able to ouer spreadâ— and fill so they touch not by one yard at least Now I am assured and I know one Apple-tree set of slip finger-great in the space of 20 yeares which I account a very small part of a trees age as is shewed Chapter 14. hath spred his boughes eleuen or twelue yards compasse that is fiue or sixe yards on eâ—ery side Hence I gather that in forty or fity yeares which yet is but a small time of his age a tree in good soile well liking by good dressing for that is much auaileable to this purpose will spread double at the least viz. twelue yards on a side which being added to twelue alotted to his felllow make twenty and foure yards aâ—d so farre distant must euery tree stand from another And looke how farre a tree spreads his boughes aboue so far doth he put his roots vnder the earth or rather further if there be no stop nor let by walls trees rocks barren earth and such like for an huge bulk and strong armes massie boughes many branches and infinite twigs require wide spreading roots The top hath the vast aire to spread his boughs in high and low this way and that way but the roots are kept in the crust of the earth they may not goe downward nor vpward ouâ— of he earth which is their element no more then the Fish out of the water Camelion out of the Aire nor Salamander out the fire Therefore they must needs spread farre vnder the earth And I dare well say if nature would giue leaue to man by Art to dresse the roots of trees to take away the tawes and tangles that lap and fiâ—t and grow supeâ—fluously and disorderly for euery thing sublunary is cursed for mans sake the tops aboue being answerably dressed we should haue trees of wouderfull greatnes and iâ—finite durance And I perswade my selfe that this might be done sometimes in Winter to trees standing in faire plâ—ines and kindly earth with small or no danger at all So that I conclude that twenty foure yards are the least space that Art can allot for trees to stand distant one from another If you aske me what vse shall be made of that waste ground betwixt tree and tree I answer If you please to plant some tree or trees in that middle space you may and as your trees grow contigious grâ—aâ— and thick you may at your pleasure take vp those last trees And this I take to be the chiefe cause why the most trees stand so thicke For men not knowing or not regarding this secret of needfull distance and louing fruit of trees planted to their handes thinke much to pull vpp anâ— though they pine one another If you or your heires or successors would take vp some great treâ—s past setting where they stand too thicke be sure â—ou doe it about Miasummer and leaue no maine rooâ—â— I destinaâ—e this spâ—ce of foure and twenty yards for trees of age staâ—ure More then thiâ— yoâ— hâ—ue borders to be made for walâ—esâ— with Rosesâ— Berries c. Aâ—d chiefly consider that your Orchard for the first twenty or thirty yeeres will serue you â—or many Gardens for Safron Licoras roots and other herbâ— for profiâ— and flowers for pleasure so that no ground need be wasted if the Gardiner be skillfull and diligenâ— But be sureâ— you come not neere with such deepe deâ—uing the roots of your trees whoâ—e compasâ—e you may partly discerne by the compasse of the tops if your top be well spread And vnder the droppings and shadow of your trees be sure no herbes will like Let this be said for the distance of Trees CHAP. 9. Of the placing of Trees THe placing of trees in an Orchard is well worth the regard For although it must be granted that any of our foresaid trees Chap. 2. will like well in any part of your Orchard being good and well drest earth yet are not â—ll Trees alike worthy of a good place And therefore I wish that your Filbird Plummes Dimsons Bulesâ—â— and such like be vtterly remoued from the plaine soile of your Orchard into your fence for there is not such fertility and easefull growth as within and there also they are more subâ—ect and an abide the blasts of Aeolus The cheâ—ries and plummes being ripe in the hot time of Summer and thâ— rest standing â—onger are not so soone shaken as your better frâ—iâ— neither if they suffer losse is your losse so greaâ— besides that your fences and ditches wâ—ll deâ—ouâ—e â—ome of your fruit growing in or neere your hedges And seeing the continuance of all these except Nuâ—s is small the care of them ought to be the lesse And make no doubtâ— but the fences of a large Orchard wiâ—l containe a suffiâ—ienâ—â—umber of such kind of Fruit-trees in the whâ—le compasse It is not materiall but at your pleasure in the sâ—d fences you may either intermingle your seuerâ—l kiâ—ds of fruit-trees or set euery kind by himselfâ— which order doth very well become your betâ—er and greater fruit Let therefore your Applâ—s Pâ—â—res anâ— Quinches possesse the soile of you Oâ—chard vnlesse you be especially affected to some of your other kinds and of them let your greatest â—rees of growth stand furthest from Sunne and your Quinches at the Sâ—uâ—h side or end and yourâ— Apples in thâ— middle so shall none be any hinderance to his fellowes The Warden-tree and Winter-Peare will challenge the preâ—emineâ—ce for stature Of your Apple-trees you shall finde difference in growth A good Pippin will gâ—ow large and a Costard-tree stead them on the North side of your other Apples thus being placed the least will
