hic plantas tenero abscindens de corpore matrum deposuit sulcis, hic stirpes obruit arvo quadrifidasque sudes et acuto robore vallos; silvarumque aliae pressos propaginis arcus exspectant et viva sua plantaria terra; nil radicis egent aliae summumque putator haud dubitat terrae referens mandare cacumen.
One man tears away suckers from the mothers tender frame, and sets them in furrows; another buries in the ground stems, both as cross-cleft shafts and as sharp-pointed stakes. Some trees await the arches of the bent layer, and slips set while yet quick in their own soil; others need no root, and the pruner fears not to take the topmost spray and again entrust it to the earth.
