“The property is wide open now. All of the magnolias succumbed, and countless smaller shrubs and perennials were washed away. The lawns were lost, too.”
Bill Noble
“We can get fuel from fruit, from that shrub by the roadside, or from apples, weeds, saw-dust - almost anything! There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented. There is enough alcohol in one year's yield of a hectare of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to cultivate the field for a hundred years. And it remains for someone to find out how this fuel can be produced commercially - better fuel at a cheaper price than we know now.”
Henry Ford
“These huge reptiles, surrounded by the black lava, the leafless shrubs and large cacti, seemed to my fancy like some antediluvian animals. The few dull-colored birds cared no more for me than they did for the great tortoises.”
Charles Darwin
“Over the years, we produced about 2,000 trees, shrubs and other plant material per year. That doesn't include sea oats: we grew about 70,000 sea oats over the past three years.”
Stephen Kintner
“Whether it's tomatoes or new shrubs, everyone wants to put their own touch on their yards.”
Steven Dray
“It takes decades for shrub communities to restore themselves. Grasses can sprout in a year or two.”
