Synopsis
This book tackles a subject that has captivated people throughout history: the art of transplanting large trees. It examines the centuries-long history of the practice, tracing its evolution from ancient Rome, where techniques were developed for moving trees in urban landscapes, to the grand transplanting projects undertaken by King Louis XIV in France. The author delves into the debate surrounding this practice, addressing criticism from prominent figures like the botanist Philip Miller, who argued against the common practice of lopping off branches. The book explores the critical importance of understanding the delicate physiology of trees and their dependence on shelter and exposure. Through detailed accounts of personal observations and experiments, the author presents a new theory for successful transplanting, emphasizing the need to choose trees with certain qualities, such as thick bark, sturdy stems, and extensive root systems. The book's insights on the science of tree transplantation challenge conventional practices and provide a valuable guide for anyone interested in shaping landscapes with these magnificent living entities.
