These trees being prudently set , and providently husbanded in banks and hedge-rows , will thrive the best of all , and prove most fruitfull ; for if the grounds be cold and wet , then to set them in banks and rows will be far better , then to set them abroad , the banks being the driest places for planting : And if the grounds be dry and sandy , then the banks are the best , as being least hurtful to the roots of trees , and gaining moisture unto them by the ditches , when any do fall , whereby they are refreshed and preserved .
