Opinions please? Best Pest & Disease book?

[Arbgirl]

Hi All

 

Which book do you rate as the best pest and disease tree book please?

 

I have plenty of fungi books but my "other" pest and disease books are a bit lacking

 

Thanks in advance:001_smile:

Strouts & Winters 'Diagnosis of ill-health in trees' is a must really.

 

Alfords 'Pests of Ornamental Trees, shrubs & Flowers' is also in my collection.

 

The Forest Research Parnerships Cd-rom ' Tree Doctor' is Ok too.

Thanks MD - I have Strouts and Winters (forgot I had that one actually)

 

Will look into the other 2

 

Found some curly brown/black leaves on some roadside Ash yesterday and was wondering what was up with them...will get me Strouts and Winters out (hope thats not rhyming slang!) and have a look!

The Forest Research Parnerships Cd-rom ' Tree Doctor' is Ok too.

 

David,

I have both the English and the Dutch (one on one translated) version, and I'm sorry to say, that it is not as far macrofungi are concerned.

Agreed Gerrit,

but I believe Arbgirl was more after P&D rather than Fungi.

 

As she states that she has 'plenty' of Fungi books.

I raffled one off here for the Christmas Charity draw.

 

Think it was Paul Barton who eventually won it.

Maybe give him a pm for a second opinion.
