Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. 1987. C. Binensis. 1988. C. sinensis. For many years this tree was kept in the green-house; but, in 1816, a plant was turned out into a sheltered part of the pleasure-ground at Claremont, where it has continued to live without protection ; and, though injured more or less by severe winters, it was, in 1837, 18 ft. high, the diameter of the trunk 7 in., and of the head 16 ft., which height it had not exceeded in IS^l, in conse- quence of the top having been frequently broken off by heavy snow. It is very readily propagated by cuttings ; and there are some trees at Dropmore, raised in this manner, which have thrown up erect stems from the collar, which will doubtless form as handsome trees as seedlings.
