Synopsis

"Here at long last is a book that provides the arboriculturist, forester, gardener - indeed anyone interested in trees - with a practical, workable, non-laboratory based system for determining the cause of ill-health in trees. The emphasis is on problems of species grown for non-commercial purposes but virtually all causes of ill-health in trees are covered in some detail (apart from damage from biting insects and mammals). The most important or striking problems are fully described and illustrated, and their significance and control discussed. Subjects covered include: Diagnostic procedure; The known problems of virtually all tree genera used for amenity purposes in Great Britain; Prevention and treatment of psts, diseases and disorders; Decay and tree safety; Tree pest and disease legislation".

About this title

Synopsis:

This is a practical summary of tree problems that are likely to be encountered by amenity trees in Great Britain, distinguishing those which will respond to control measures, and those which can be safely ignored or cannot be controlled. Illustrated in colour throughout, it is an introduction to the subject of tree pathology and is ideal for arboriculturists and others without specialist pathological or entomological knowledge. In addition to the well-known problems, a number are described which are unfamiliar or previously undescribed. The three main sections are: 1) Diagnostic procedure, 2) a directory arranged by tree genus to the problems described, and 3) detailed illustrated descriptions with commentaries of the principal pests, diseases and disorders included. There are also other sections on control measures and on decay and safety.
