Haven't read through it in depth as yet, but appears pretty comprehensive.

For instance, I like the way it offers guidance on 'management of veteran fruit trees' & although not extensive, it also focuses on 'safe working practices for innovative or specialised techniques'

Looking forward to busting through this once my course has finished! Unfortunately veteran trees must play second fiddle to propagation n that.

Just ordered my copy. By coincidence I have to visit a client with a veteran and offer some advice; I hope it arrives in time!

You'll find it most useful Marco, there are sections on benefits, survey & evaluation, habitat continuity & specific tree works/protection.

Arrived today! Had a quick scan through the photo's like I scanned the new Beano annual when I was a boy at Christmas. Good to see some familiar names mentioned.

Did you order a copy Kevin?

 

 

The ATF asked me to do a brief review of the book for the membership here at Arbtalk.

Don't think I'll be taking up literary reviewing as a day job any time soon

I've not ordered it yet, unfortunately other things have taken priority (a nice Getac gps through my door soon ) I thought the review was well written and to the point. When I do get it I could also write a review, could be some time though as I'd want to read cover to cover. I find it helps me to do so first before shelving a book for reference.
