Nicely illustrated, written in an easy style by a practicing
arboriculturalist who knows his stuff. Urban Trees has all the
chapters you would expect: how trees grow, problems faced by trees
and how to plant and look after them. It also covers the
development of towns and how this has affected trees, and what to
consider when planning new trees planting. It covers just 174 pages
and so is fairly limited in its depth. It’s nicely illustrated,
written in an easy style by a practicing arboriculturalist who
knows his stuff, and so will be a popular science book for those
urbanites who have a general interest in the trees around them. As
such, while it is an interesting book, it has limited value for
ecologists.
