I have just started reading MA and before i knew it i was 100 pages in its amazing how much stuff you can learn when u just sit read was just wondering if there were any other must read books out there suggestions would be great cheers Lads

 

It's a fantastic book to browse, but it is not very structured. If there was just one book that covers trees and their environment in a structured way but isn't too dense and intimidating, and doesn't cost too much, I'd say Thomas's Trees:Their Natural History. You can (and excuse the pun) branch out after that into specialisms.

Trees there natural history is a good one, I might treat myself to a decay fungus book, any recommendations? More UK related though

My boss has A New Tree Biology also by Shigo and he rates it very highly. It gets a bit philosophical in places though apparently. Not that that's a major criticism.

'The Tree' by Colin Tudge is quite interesting though not about tree physiology rather more about their history, different types etc...
