    I'd also recommend Collins Tree Guide by David More and Owen Johnson. However, there are no photos in this book but excellent colour drawings. I'd also recommend Tree Recognition: A Pocket Manual by Ian Richardson and Rowena Gale if you want something smaller for when your out and about. However, this one also doesn't have photos but fairly straight forward line drawings.

    I've had mine for nearly 4 years and have never had any problems with it. Although the speaker is beginning to fade now so it's becoming increasingly difficult to hear anyone when your in a noisy environment. I would replace it with the same one but I'm looking for a phone with a better camera.

    The Manual of Wood Decays in Trees by
Claus Mattheck & Karlheinz Weber is a good basic one. It describes in detail 29 of most important decay fungi to be found on street and park trees with a specific arboricultural reference.

    They look pretty good. I'd also have a look at Tip Master and Road Load.

    It's on the outskirts of Norwich on a Britvic Soft Drinks factory site (formally and still the Colmans Mustard site). Not many people know it's there as it's a private site and the abby garden and meadow are now surrounded by factory buildings. It is the Hornbeam of fertility at Hatfield Forest.

    As David suggested - An amazing ancient weeping beech. Unfortunately the photos don't do it justice.

    Did anyone catch Countryfile on Sunday? They briefly looked at the problems facing Aesculus hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) and the treatments they are trialling at Reading University. If you missed it it's worth a look at: BBC iPlayer - Countryfile: 11/10/2009

    Thinking of installing a woodburning stove soon. What does everyone think of the Esse 125 SE with a 5kw output.

    I'm in my third year at Writtle College studying BSc (Hons) Horticulture with Tree Management and had completed a number of CS units prior to that. Although it's a great course I would have loved to have gone to Myerscough College. If your planning on working in the uk arb industry your better of studying here.
