Growing Gold, or a Treatise on the Cultivation of British Oak (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling treatise on the cultivation and management of oak timber in Britain. In the centuries since the nation's forests were felled for shipbuilding, this book argues that Britain has been failing to adequately replant oak trees, leading to an alarming deficit of high-quality oak. The text is a detailed exposition on the author's position that the key obstacle to growing oak is the strong winds that frequently buffet the British Isles, and which can cripple or even kill young trees in exposed plantations. The author provides evidence from a range of sources, including historical records, scientific studies, and his own observations, to support his claim. The author advocates for a radical departure from current forestry practices, arguing that trees need to be planted closely together in sheltered areas to protect them from wind damage. He also decries the practice of thinning out young trees, which he argues further weakens them and exposes them to the elements. This book is a timely wake-up call for landowners, foresters, and anyone concerned about the future of Britain's oak forests. It is a comprehensive and persuasive argument for a new approach to forestry, one that is based on a deep understanding of the natural ecology of oak trees.
