Trees are now in the public eye as never before. The threat of tree diseases, the felling of street trees, and the challenge of climate change are just some of the issues that have put trees in the media spotlight. At the same time, the trees in our parks, gardens, and streets are a vital resource that can deliver environmental, social, and economic benefits that make our towns and cities attractive, green, and healthy places. Ever since Roman times when amenity trees were first planted in Britain, caring for those trees has required specialist skills. This is mainly because of the challenges of successfully integrating large trees into the urban environment and the risks involved in working with them, often at height and in close proximity to people, buildings and roads. But who are the people with the specialist expertise to care for our amenity trees? While professionals such as horticulturists, landscape architects, conservationists and foresters have a role to play, it is the arboriculturists who are the ‘tree experts’. For centuries arboriculture was often synonymous with forestry or considered an aspect of horticulture, until it emerged in the nineteenth century as a separate discipline. There are now some 22,000 people employed in Britain’s arboricultural industry, including practical tree surgeons and arborists, local authority tree officers, and arboricultural consultants. This is the first book to trace the history of Britain’s professional tree experts, from the Roman arborator to the modern chartered arboriculturist. It also discusses the influences from continental Europe and North America that have helped to shape British arboriculture over the centuries. The Tree Experts will have particular appeal to those interested in the natural and built environment, heritage landscapes, social history, and the history of gardening.

About the Book My name is Jack Brazeal and I am a Christian, a certified arborist, a registered consulting arborist, and I am the arborist poet. In my career of over five decades working and caring for trees, I have climbed and pruned thousands of trees including, but not limited to: pink dogwoods and magnolia trees in the deep south, palo verde and mesquite trees in the southwest desert, large blue gum eucalyptus trees in southern California, and logged the giant sequoia redwood trees in the great northwest. The Arborist Poet is about some of the things that have happened in my lifelong career working with trees. I have learned to appreciate the positive contributions that trees make to our environment and to our everyday lives. Without trees, this old world would not be the same as we know it today. So hug a tree every now and then, it will make you feel good. Thank you, and enjoy The Arborist Poet. About the Author Jack Brazeal spent four decades working as an arborist. Originally from Opossum Kingdom, South Carolina, Brazeal’s favorite pastimes in his youth included exploring the deep woods, creeks, and streams that seemed to be everywhere Brazeal moved to. Fishing and hunting came naturally to Brazeal and his brothers, for not only was it a fun thing to do, it was a necessity for providing food on the family supper table. These many adventures in the outdoors inevitably led to Brazeal’s success as an arborist.
