I got Schwarze's book from the AA for £140 approx. Think they still stock it.
-
Free!? I quit.

£30 Some French company on Amazon. Bargain!
-
Picked up Armillaria Root Rot: Biology and Control of Honey Fungus yesterday. VERY GOOD. If anyone likes this sort of detailed analysis of a particular fungal pathogen, get this book.
-
Aye lichen is pretty much fine. The New Forest is ridden with lichen growth everywhere. Entire oaks are greeny-blue. It's a sign of good ecosystem health.

Some walnuts round here are darn late. Wait it out for a month or so, then have another check. May be vigour-related, though I am only guessing.

L. sulphureus is a very slow brown-rot heart rotter. Only in the very late stages will brittle fracturing be induced. It can co-exist with C. sativa for many decades with ease, as it tends to only begin to colonise wood when the conditions are suitable (the wood must dry out first, I believe) and is very slow at progressing through wood. One to monitor, though it's nothing major I would say. Looks like an historic wound anyway - likely co-existed fine for a long time.

Good to hear. Indeed it is rare to see such a good book - it shows how much had been established with regards to fungal decayers back then. It seems most knowledge is simply lifted from such texts, with little development since. Go down to a chemistry lab at a school. Say you're doing a research project.

100% not a hornbeam. Bark wrong, leaves wrong, flowers wrong.

You'll like it. Good book! Snagged The Landscape Below Grounds series I, II and III today. Lots of reading soon! Still trying to get through other books and making notes where I will need them in the future.
-
Interesting. Have ordered the reprint from 2012. Will be good to compare. The Decay of timber and its prevention is, I think, one of the 'benchmark' research books. It seems a lot of current information simply draws, near verbatim, from that book.
-
Absolutely. There was an earlier edition from 1946.
-
My edition is from 1958. Authors are Cartwright and Findlay. Reading through it now and it's stellar. Genuinely. Some of the Latin names are outdated, such as P. pomaceus (named as F. pomaceus back then), though it's a cracker of a research book. For £5 it was a bargain.

Peter Thomas talk - Trees: their natural history

See you there. -
Nabbed 'Decay of timber and its prevention' for five quid. Great score, tbh. Wonderful book! Reading the bit on F. fomentarius and it's darn intricate.

I believe it's an L-shaped wall, though I may be wrong.

Very sad to have such a thing occur. Condolences to all involved with this and let this act as a huge reminder that vigilance at all times is a must.

Wow nice! I just spent £500 on Trees and Shrubs Hardy... 8th ED and New Trees: Recent... Why was nobody selling it for an absurdly low price when I wanted it...?!
-
Here's hoping one arboriculturalist decides to offload his or her tree books in a charity shop near me! I did find Ancient Trees: Trees That Live for a Thousand Years and Hugh Johnson's International Book of Trees for around £15 total from a charity shop recently, though that's not a huge saving given their lowish price anyway.
-
Fair play. I got the hardback 1996 ed. from Amazon for £70 new, down from £240. Thought it was worth it whilst I have the funds to afford it.
-
I'm looking at that book and the 2014 version is an 'Eastern Economy' edition. Is the material inside different, therefore?
-
You win this thread. I'm outta' here...

Anyone ever snag a good book on the cheap? Picked up The Physiological Ecology of Woody Plants 1991 ed. for £20. Allegedly a used library copy, though if it was it seems nobody ever read it! Near mint.
