वृक्षायुर्वेद (सुरपाल - प्राचीन भारतीय पादप-विज्ञान, कृषि एवं वृक्ष-चिकित्सा सटीक)

88. Golla, vartaka, etc. should be planted in the month
    of Asvina, Phanijjaka, satapatrika, dhanyaka, mulaka, etc.
    should be planted in the month of Kartika.
89. Patola, etc. should be planted in Phalguna (beginning
    of spring) and kakaruka, etc. in Caitra (spring). A wise
    man should plant kadeli, etc. in the month of Vaisakha
    (beginning of summer) and on a Friday.
90. Any tree as desired can be planted in the month of
    Asadha. Margasirsa, Pausa, and Magha (winter, i.e., coolest
    periods) are stated to be bad for planting.
91. A wise person should plant bhillota (bhallataka ?)
    without fail on all sides of all the trees for ensuring their
    health.
92. Phalini, asoka, punnaga, sirisa, and nimba must be
    planted first as they are auspicious and also prevent
    diseases and calamities.
93. Karamarda and vamsa to the east, paravata trees to
    the south, badari, kapittha, and dhatri to the north are
    auspicious. Other trees having fibrous (or flexible) roots
    and of good, mediocre, and bad categories also should
    be planted on the border along with the trees of the same
    category at regular intervals.
94. The designs for planting trees are: mandapa (canopy),
    nandyavarta (quadrangle with an opening to the West),
    swastika (famous diagram of religious significance),
    caturasra (square), sarvatobhadra (a square enclosing a
    circle), vithi (line), nikunja (arbour), and punjaka
    (multitude, cluster).
95. The fruit-yielding and flower-yielding trees should
    be at the center and other trees around them. They
    should be planted in pairs and they too, should be
    encircled by a trench.
96. Thus after knowing this technique the person
    concerned with trees should undertake planting after
    propitiating gods and preceptors and after removing
    all impurities.
97. Trees alone on the earth give happiness both here
    and hereafter. Since they "save" from abject poverty they
    are named "taravah" (the saviors).
98. Therefore, the trees should be carefully nurtured as
    through their shade, flowers, and fruits they help
    immensely in the pursuit of dharma, artha, and kama.
99. Trees must be protected vigilantly from mist, storm,
    smoke, fire, and spider.
100. An expert should treat the plant by coating with
     sesame oil cake and vidanga—the insecticide—by
     sprinkling mixture of milk and water and the liquid
     fertilizer (kunapambu), and by smoking with ghee.
     Nourishment
101. The excreta, marrow of the bones, and flesh, brain,
     and blood of a boar mixed with water and stored
     underground is called kunapa.
102. As per the availability the fat, the marrow, and the
     flesh of fish, the ram, the goat, and other horned animals
     should be collected and stored.
103. These should be boiled after mixing with water,
     and the mixture should be stored in an oiled pot after
     adding sufficient quantity of husk.
104. After roasting it in an iron pot, sesame oil cake and
     honey should be added. Soaked black gram of good
     quality should also be added. A little ghee should then
     be poured.
