Manual of wood decays in trees

[brothergrim]

Ive bought this book as a birthday present to myself and have not been disappointed, what a fantastic read as some one who hasn't done a college course or degree but Is interested in tree biology and diseases I've learnt a lot from this book I had to look a few words here and there to understand it better. But its enlightened me greatly can anyone Reccomend any other books that I could get???

Unfortunatley certain of these books are out of print, but when I can find a copy for sale out there I will add one to the bookclub.

Tree diseases and disorders, Causes, biology & control in forest & amenity trees. - Heinz Butin,

is one of my most flicked through books that I have access to.

 

Varies greatly in price, shop around for it.

Great field book , I have over the years stapled add on pages to mine of different finds, from my camera with text from additional research that i have done. Its a very easy read

A super little field guide is the Arb Assoc one, you can get it through their website publications section. Small but perfectly formed for the main tree killers.

Als I think Lonsdale's Principles of Tree Hazard Assessment and Management is so well written that it articulates the biology and biomechanics of decay in the context of management in a way that no other publication I have seen does. You need to speak the lingo though...
