Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Revised September 1995. 50 Pages. Stapled binding. This guide is intended to help homeowners and forest managers in identifying and controlling forest and ornamental tree pests. The guide focuses on insect and disease pests but also discusses natural and human-caused environmental problems. Many pest problems can be prevented by keeping trees health and vigorous. Tree pests are usually attracted to and do more damage to stressed, weakened trees. In forests, environmental stresses can sometimes be alleviated by thinning stands to reduce competition among trees. In urban landscapes, trees are often planted in areas where they would not grow naturally and thus may suffer from too much or too little moisture, soil compaction, alkalinity, air pollution, and exposure to sun and wind. In urban areas throughout New Mexico, conifers need supplemental water during the windy spring and at other dry times during the year.
