εὐμενὲς δὲ καὶ ἡ πεύκη δοκεῖ πᾶσιν εἶναι διά τε τὸ μονόρριζος εἶναι καὶ βαθύρριζος· ὑποφυτεύεται γὰρ ὑπ᾽ αὐτῇ καὶ μύρρινος καὶ δάφνη καὶ ἕτερα πλείω καὶ αὔξησιν λαμβάνει. καὶ φανερὸν ὅτι μᾶλλον παροχλοῦσιν αἱ ῥίζαι τῆς σκιᾶς· σκιὰν γὰρ πολλὴν ποιεῖ ἡ πεύκη. κατὰ λόγον δὲ καὶ τὰ ἄλλα τὰ ὀλιγόρριζα καὶ βαθύρριζα καὶ πρὸς τούτοις ὧν μὴ κατὰ τὴν αὐτὴν ὥραν ἡ βλάστησις καὶ καρποτοκία·
