Regarded by many as an irreplaceable reference tool, this book describes the integration of the landscape environment (climate, soil, and related organisms), its effect on landscape plants, and how to manage both to obtain the desired results with reasonable effort. All aspects of tree, shrub, and vine care are covered, including plant structure and function, plant selection, site analysis and preparation, environmental influences on growth, soil, water and nutrient management, pruning, transplanting, and plant health care. A valuable handbook for professionals, including arboricultural consultants, arborists, urban foresters, landscape architects, landscape contractors (installation and/or maintenance), state and county horticultural extension advisors, park directors and staff (federal, state, regional, and local), street tree superintendents and staff, grounds superintendents and staff (golf courses, college and school grounds, cemeteries, condominiums, re

Arboriculture―the emphasis on keeping trees alive and healthy―has emerged only recently as a profession, however, the practices in use today are the culmination of decades of development. The first book of its kind, Arboriculture: History and Development in North America chronicles a century of this "love of trees" view as it has developed into a viable profession.       Beginning with a discussion of the origins of planting, transplanting, and pruning, Richard Campana provides a breadth and depth of understanding of how arboriculture has become an important force in modern ecology. Specific topics discussed include: the introduction of woody plants into North America; botanical gardens and arboreta; gypsy moths; Dutch elm disease; the Davey, Bartlett, and Asplundh tree experts; herbicides, insecticides and fungicides; pruning; fertilization; wound treatment; and cabling, bracing, and lightning protection.       This unique history will be of interest to arborists, city foresters, landscape architects, nursery companies, contractors, park and city managers, superintendents of institutional grounds, educators, students, workers in land management, government and public utilities- and anyone involved in the preservation of trees.

An invaluable reference tool for anyone interested in plant life, this comprehensive and logically organized guide describes current and new woody landscape plant selection and maintenance practices, and evaluates them based on the most recent research and experience. Providing a strong scientific and technical background for the training and practice of arboriculture, this all-in-one reference ties plants with site and management practices to create healthy, sustainable landscapes, and evaluates current and recommended practices of the basis of research. It now gives biological as well as common names of species, evaluates new American and European research finding that apply to trees, and modifies maintenance recommendations throughout, and also includes a new Sunset National Plant Climate map (in color) with 45 climate zones based on latitude, elevation, ocean influence, and mountains and terrain.

Notch Rigging Thimbles were designed by arborists and built by engineers. They are purpose-built for the arboriculture industry, with improvements over the original marine products on the market. Splice them into a sling for use as a rigging point or redirect. Wider rope groove to accommodate more appropriate sizes and types of rope for various sling configurations. Bigger, gentler bend radius for running rope. Non-anodized aluminum for extended life. Interior diameter is specially sized in relation to the other Notch Rigging Thimbles for better retrieval and use with splices. Effectively unbreakable in standard configurations on our 25,000 lbs. horizontal proof test machine. Minimum breaking strength tested in the worst case configuration scenario - and clearly marked on every thimble. Tensile Strength: 10,000 lbs. (44.4 kN). Lifetime wear guarantee - If at any point in time your rigging thimble shows a "groove" from normal use, send it back to us and we'll replace it for free. (Does not cover dents, scratches, or the cost of splicing). Size: medium.
