As the Rev.Mr.Jackson says: "Could it be shown that the primitive Eden bore as many fruits pleasant to the taste, it would add a new pang to the thought of original sin." The number of native trees seems small, but trees have been naturalized here from every part of the world.

The pepper tree is from Peru, also the quinine tree: from Chili, the monkey tree and the Norfolk Island pine.
Mr.Cooper imported the eucalyptus from Australia.

It grows rapidly, and is planted for windbreaks.

It is used for firewood, and when cut down nearly to the ground will start up with the same old courage and ambition.

Its roots are so eager for water that they make long detours, sometimes even climbing up and down a stone wall, if it is in their route, or into a well.
