text_original: The trees were many of them too large when they came from France, and, though I cut them back severely, they did not form such low bushy heads as my ideal species. They are on St. Julien roots, which serve the purposes in hand fairly well. Though the trees had a hard trip across the water only one out of forty six has died in three years. Unfortunately these trees have not yet borne fruit,  not one of them. Next year many of them will bear.
