A practical reference for experienced and novice tree owners alike.
If you are fortunate enough to live on property that includes
trees, The Tree Doctor is the ideal, fully illustrated manual for
care and maintenance. A sapling requires different care than does a
young tree or a mature tree. Trees growing in an urban environment
face unique challenges that demand an appropriate approach. Tree
owners will refer to this comprehensive reference many times
throughout their tree's life. The topics include: * Tree
characteristics and the benefits of trees; * Tree species
identification; * How to 'read' a tree's condition by its leaves
and bark; * How trees are sold and how to choose a healthy one; *
Hardiness rating, soil analysis, and what trees need from the soil;
* Planning and design, tree selection and placement; * Planting,
after-care, maintenance, and pruning; * Management of young and
mature trees; * Disease prevention; * Treatment for insect
infestation; * How to get the most value out of your trees. The
Tree Doctor provides invaluable guidance to those new to tree
ownership with advice on the right species for every space, whether
to choose a shade or flowering tree, what to look for in choosing a
tree, and how to hire qualified experts if you need to. The
resources section helps readers to locate experts across the
country. The authors also explain how climate change and recently
emerging pests and diseases - including the Emerald Ash Borer - are
affecting trees and they provide steps to mitigate these threats to
tree life and health. Urban dwellers will appreciate the attention
given to planting and caring for trees in a city setting, how to
water and maintain city trees, and what trees are more ideally
suited for planting in densely populated areas.
