If you're a tree surgeon then continuous professional development is something that helps many people in their jobs and reading a few books can probably help you do yours. However, if you just have a passing interest in tree surgery or need to do a job yourself then here are few places to look to get you started. 1. Woodland Management If you already own, or indeed are thinking about buying some woodland then you'll be aware that management of that woodland can be a big task and not something you should dive straight into without at least a little advice. Woodland Management does exactly what its unambiguous title suggest, covering all areas of the specialism from habitat and wildlife conservation through to surveying and mapping and even how to create new woodland. It's quite a read and an essential to anyone who is serious about this topic. 2. Tree Guide: The Most Complete Field Guide To The Trees of Britain and Europe Obviously if you're serious about tree management - either professionally or as a hobby and want to look after your back garden - you are going to need to be able to identify what tree it is that you are dealing with so you can manage it effectively. This text covers trees in Britain and those in non-Mediterranean Europe so that almost anything you encounter will be covered in its pages. Furthermore, there is a list of common diseases which each tree it likely to suffer from and is therefore invaluable not just to the professional but also to the amateur gardener. 3. The Aboriculturalist's Companion: A Guide to the Care of Tress Caring for trees is obviously the main task of any professional tree surgeon and this book goes through in detail exactly how to do that, looking at several specific techniques for best management of trees. Methodology explained includes that behind spacing, transplanting, pruning, protection and safety so that whoever is reading this is left in no doubt as to how best to look after a tree, or a group of them. Furthermore, there is also guidance on how to identify of recognise specific tree diseases and how to treat them. What more could you need? As you can see these are just three of the books which can be of invaluable use to a tree surgeon or someone who is looking to manage their own trees. What books do you find useful to help you look after your trees?
