The Silviculture of Trees Used in British Forestry (2nd Edition)

Many books have been written about trees that grow in Britain. They range from guides for identification to books that have been lavishly illus- trated by talented photographers and artists. One of the best known of the former group is Alan Mitchell’s (1974) A Field Guide to the Trees of Britai...
