I find searching arbtalk old threads much easier with google than the sites' own search

a google search 'arbtalk tree disease books' for example yields dozens of results, reading these threads will generate a long list of books, some expensive

Try Bob Watson, Trees - their use management cultivation and biology. It's cheap, comprehensive and also lists many of the books mentioned in arbtalk threads in the references section. It has one chapter ' Harmless, helpful and harmful biotic agencies of trees' an intro to pests and diseases. Many specialized books are mentioned in the previous threads e.g "manual of wood decay in trees" by K Weber and C Mattheck and Diagnosis Of Ill-Health In Trees 2nd Edition

 

A similar google search 'arbtalk woodland management books'.....

Unless it's an enquiry about a recently published or out of print book, most of the available books have been discussed many times before

Hi,

 

The AA bookshop stocks a lot of the Mattheck books and the guides to Fungi on Trees and Tree Pests & Diseases are our bestsellers: https://www.trees.org.uk/Book-Shop

 

Various others like Managing Insects and Mites on Woody Plants may come in handy too.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

A lot of the Forestry and Arboriculture Qualifications have handbooks online which list suitable reference books.

 

See link here for the handbook for City and Guilds Level 3 in Forestry and Arboriculture.
