Meanings
-
Relating to dendrology.
I love trees as much as most people, but have little sympathy with that dendrologous idolatry that refuses to remove a tree because it is old and big; the bigger it is, the greater the nuisance, if badly placed.
1881, Francis George Heath, Forestry: A Journal of Forest and Estate Management, page 777:
