An Introduction to the Diseases of Forest and Amenity Trees in New Zealand
By Ridley & Dick (2001).
This book has developed from notes prepared for teaching courses on forestry and amenity tree diseases for tree health surveillance staff in government and industry, and is a basic introduction.
Tree health surveillance in New Zealand concentrates on exotic plantation species and in particula pinus radiata. However, knowledge of the diseases of some amenity and native species, especially in the urban landscape, is also required as surveillance staff my be required to carry out surveys for new disease introductions.
