An easy to understand non-laboratory based system for determining the causes of ill-health in trees. The emphasis is on problems of species grown for non-commercial purposes, but nearly all causes of ill-health in trees are covered on some detail, apart from damage from biting insects and mammals. Subjects covered include: diagnostic procedure, the known problems of virtually all tree genera used for amenity purposes in Great Britain; prevention and treatment of pests, diseases and disorders; decay and tree safety; and tree pest and disease legislation. Additions to the second edition include a major section of the identification of the principal wood-rotting fungi on trees, and items on water logging and exotic pests and diseases.
Synopsis: A practical, non-laboratory based system for finding the cause of ill health in trees. It deals with the problems affecting trees that have been planted out for ornament, screening, shading or hedging in the UK, and covers ill health caused by every kind of agent likely to affect amenity trees.
