1 online resource (viii, 280 pages) : illustrations (some color)
This book aims to provide a guide for selecting species and managing trees. The requirements of each of the 63 species from 35 genera are described for areas in which they are likely to do well. Further, the book provides information about the origin and introduction (where applicable) of each species, climatic and site requirements, other silvicultural characteristics, pests and diseases, natural regeneration, provenance, seed production, nursery treatment, yield and timber characteristics. The book concludes with two simple keys for identifying the tree most likely to be encountered in woods.
