Cultivation
'Arno' has reputedly performed extremely well in trials in northern Italy, even where grown on poor clay soils. The clone was introduced to the UK by Butterfly Conservation in 2007, but is not known elsewhere beyond Italy in Europe, and has not been introduced to North America or Australasia. Commercial production of 'Arno' in Italy had ceased by 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word cultivation:
“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“We are on a mission: we are called to the cultivation of the earth.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“If the minds of women were enlightened and improved, the domestic circle would be more frequently refreshed by intelligent conversation, a means of edification now deplorably neglected, for want of that cultivation which these intellectual advantages would confer.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
