[David Humphries]

Don't see the David Lonsdale edited 'Ancient and other veteran trees: further guidance on management'

 

Or perhaps more importantly the National Tree Safety Group's 'Common sense risk management of trees'

 

 

Then there's the upcoming British Standard on transplanting trees.

 

'BS 8545 Trees: from Nursery to Independence in the Landscape'

 

 

 

Just shows you how often these lists need to be updated
