Trees grow by rules and those rules are almost universal. Understand those rules (which are simple once they are pointed out to you), and you understand how trees are designed to grow into the shapes and structures that you see and how that same structure designs how a tree gradually ages and eventually dies. This book explains those rules in plain English and then goes much further.
When you chance across somebody who has immersed themselves in a profession over a long period but maintained their interest by researching and innovating new and innovative but always practically applicable and efficient solutions, you should listen to what they have to say. That is especially so when the subject matter is something as familiar and as universal as Trees.
The Tree Morphogenesis Project is the culmination of a career in Arboriculture that delivers new insights about a fundamental organizing principle of almost all woody plants.
The insights in this book can literally change the way that you look at trees AND change the way that you see trees but this book also contains insights that are absolutely applicable to the management of your trees wherever you may be in the world.
Tree Morphogenesis Book 1 – Reduction Via Thinning Theory (the first of a series of books) is intended for tree owners who want to understand their own trees and want to specify their own tree care but it will also appeal to anybody involved in Arboriculture or Horticultural industries.
The tree care methodologies, illustrated with case histories, probably represent the most sympathetic form of tree care so far defined and described.
This book will start to breakdown the gulf of misconceptions that have evolved between people and trees and does so by reintroducing the reader to things that they already know as well as many things that you will not know. It will help you to avoid wasting money on less than sympathetic tree management and will place the future of your trees in your own hands (even if you use a contractor for the dangerous bits).
Trees gave the author a career which enabled him to raise his family for which he feels profoundly indebted to trees. This book is one way that he is starting to repay that debt.
