Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a critical compendium of knowledge on planting trees for timber or ornamental purposes, grounded in the author's extensive personal experience and well-established forestry and soil management practices of the time. The author begins by arguing that Britain must improve its domestic timber production for the good of the nation and its position in the world. He goes on to describe what he sees as the best methods for cultivating trees, including the proper selection and use of tree species and ground management techniques, such as draining the soil. The book also explores the economic and environmental benefits of planting trees, and the author does not hesitate to criticize ineffective practices and attitudes, such as the planting of trees for ornamental value in poor conditions. The author's detailed, clear, and systematic approach makes this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in forestry, particularly in the British context.
