Practical Tree Management: An Arborists Handbook - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This is a practical up-to-date handbook on tree surgery - an important but often neglected aspect of arboriculture. It is designed to be of interest to students and others who recognize the importance of trees in the environment and are interested in techniques to obtain and prolong their healthy growth. The authors have all had extensive practical horticultural experience with both government and commercial enterprises. The first few chapters contain useful information on healthy trees, such as structure and function, growth and development, and planting establishment. Later chapters include tree assessment and tree surveys, pruning, wounds, maintaining tree health, weeds, pests, diseases, cavity treatments and bracing. The principles of safe operating techniques and their application to branch, tree and stump removal are discussed in detail. Appendices contain useful information on chainsaw maintenance and knots and splices.
