Anybody have any input on the history of Arboriculture ?

I want to get a copy of ed hobbs book cadre of a mew. Heard it is really good.

When I think of this subject, I think of Robert Phillips and what he and his family have done for this industry through their ingenuity!

I did see a video on the history of the industry. I think it was an ISA production.

That's right Rob, there was a video on the history and I think ISA has it available if you contact them.

Legends of Arboriculture in book form tells the story well.

O wait a second; books are passe'...maybe look at it as a series of tweets?

Lots of opportunities to present that history from different directions.

A good straightforward history was writted by Dr. Richard J. Campana (1918-2005) and published in 1999 by Michigan State University Press.

He was a long-time faculty member of the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Maine in Orono and was a real pioneer in treatments (including injections) for Dutch Elm Disease.
