I'm doing it at the moment with the Horticultural Correspondence College, currently on woody plant physiology. The notes supplied are not the easiest to follow, but the aim is to get you to do your own research I guess. There is a lot of cross-over with horticulture in the earlier modules, so I found the texts for the RHS Level 2 and 3 (principles of horticulture by Adams et al) very relevant and good at explaining terminology. I probably underestimated how long it would take, and gauging the level of detail required is tricky. Hope you find it easier as you go on.

Thanks for the advice, I'm trying to refuse to tackle windblown trees until I get the ticket and the experience (if I ever do)

For the purposes of qualifications, what counts as a windblown tree? Anything with a rootplate attached I guess, but are small trees included, any minimum diameters etc? Been badly affected by storm corrie, mainly blown but was also impressed how the wind just snapped some --> Any help very much appreciated
