"Sylva; Or, A Discourse of Forest Trees. Vol. 1 (of 2)" by John Evelyn is a treatise first presented to the Royal Society in 1662 and published as a book in 1664. This pioneering work addresses the cultivation and propagation of timber trees in England's dominions.

tree cultivation, and cider production, cementing its legacy across centuries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
