Service tree

"The fruit trees except fruit giving bring also that great good of making the landscape more fertile and healthy.... They provide us with various types of fine wood...Alleys of trees protect the fields from drying up by undue winds and create a shady canopy good for the crops. Planting and tending to fruit trees prevent from lazing around leading to wickedness, drunkenness, lust and burglary... It means it is also an exquisite method of improving and excelling of human mind and heart."

František Pixa 1848
