Description

Practical advice for forest and agroforestry plantations

Producing quality wood is possible, but requires training pruning and pruning to rectify the natural shape of the trees and achieve the desired characteristics: a trunk without branches, straight and cylindrical, without knots or internal defects, and sufficiently long.

Why prune trees? What type of cut should be made? How does the tree react to pruning? How and when should a branch be cut? How can I get a straight bole and knot-free wood? What equipment should I use? This practical guide answers all these questions.

Validated by experience in the field and enriched by recent scientific knowledge, this book is aimed at all managers of forest and field trees.
