Synopsis

This detailed guide offers a fresh perspective on the cultivation of trees, focusing predominantly on the most suitable and profitable varieties for British forestry and private property grounds. The author draws upon over 30 years of practical experience to challenge established, yet ineffective, methods of planting, management, and pruning that are costing landowners and timber merchants alike. His alternative approach has been developed and refined through extensive trials, and is explained with an accessible combination of scientific principles and practical tips. The author's insights could revolutionize forestry practices, creating greater timber value from existing reserves, shortening harvesting times, and improving profit margins throughout the industry.
