Many arborists learn tree work practices without fully understanding the biological and physiological principles behind them. However, outcomes for the health and longevity of trees are greatly improved when an arborist understands the science behind the care of tree root systems and crowns. In Applied Tree Biology, Drs. Hirons and Thomas draw upon their decades of experience in the laboratory, classroom, and the field – as well as the expertise of distinguished contributors to this volume – to provide those responsible for tree care with the scientific information that informs best practices for planting, pruning, soil decompaction, irrigation, and much more.

  • Takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating knowledge from plant biology, physiology, arboriculture, ecology, and more
  • Provides a systematic presentation of fundamental tree biology and the scientific principles informing high quality tree care
  • Presents accessible scientific information and best practices that help promote the health and longevity of trees
  • Reflects the authors’ decades of experience as tree biology researchers and educators, as well as their years of professional experience across the globe

Applied Tree Biology is an indispensable source of practical, succinct information on tree biology, physiology, and ecology for professionals and interested amateurs involved with the care of trees. Arborists, foresters, and horticulturists at all stages of their careers will find this text particularly useful. 

Industry Reviews
"Overall this is very well written and beautifully presented book on applied tree biology that completely meets its declared objectives and is an excellent resource for all those engaged in the care and management of amenity trees, parks and other urban landscapes. It also fills an important and neglected niche in the scientific literature and so it is highly recommended reading for all interested in the management of trees - especially urban trees." - Prof RRB Leakey, Forest Trees and Livelihood, March 2018

"This is an ambitious book that bridges the gap between basic plant biology and practical arboriculture. Books have attempted this before but not in such a comprehensive way. Arborists, in common with other professions, sometimes too easily accept and follow practices based on unquestioning assumption rather than evidence. This book will help ground modern arboriculture in sound science."- The Plantsman, June 2018
