Written for homeowners, practitioners and professionals alike, The Tree Care Manual provides a clear, science-based introduction to modern tree care. It brings together best practice in species selection, planting, establishment, pruning and tree health, alongside guidance on safety, legislation and working with specialists.
The essential guide to caring for the trees that shape our lives.
Whether you are planting your first tree, managing a garden, designing a development, or starting out in arboriculture, this book gives you clear, practical guidance at every stage. From choosing the right species for the right place, through planting, establishment, pruning and long-term care, to diagnosing problems and working safely with professionals, it brings together everything you need to help trees thrive.
With an illustrated guide to more than 170 species and straightforward explanations of how trees grow, respond to stress and interact with the places we live, this manual connects everyday tree care to the bigger picture: healthier neighbourhoods, stronger urban forests and a better future for the people who depend on them.
A preview of what’s inside the new Tree Care Manual:
Trees make our streets cooler, our gardens greener and our communities healthier - yet most of the trees in our towns and cities are privately owned, and many never receive the care they need. The Tree Care Manual was written by leading experts Tony Kirkham and Kenton Rogers to change that.
