Read The Trees of Pride Storyline:

"We wish you\'d get rid of what you\'ve got here, sir," he observed, digging doggedly. "Nothing\'ll grow right with them here." "Shrubs " said the Squire, laughing. "You don\'t call the peacock trees shrubs, do you? Fine tall trees -- you ought to be proud of them." "Ill weeds grow apace," observed the gardener. "Weeds can grow as houses when somebody plants them." Then he added: "Him that sowed tares in the Bible, Squire." "Oh, blast your --" began the Squire, and then replaced the more apt and alliterative word "Bible" by the general word "superstition."
