Suggested reading list
Below is a list of some the books which I would recommend should appear in your library if you are carrying out tree inspections professionally. The list is not exhaustive , and some of the books you might be difficult to find or out of print, but don’t give up searching and try contacting online book sellers such as http://www.treesource.co.uk/ who sometimes have the books in stock at a reasonable price or might help you find a copy second hand.
