Disease Diagnosis book

[cntrybo2]

Hey guys, i am looking for a good book that aids in diagnosing tree diseases and disorders. Something that is laid out like a plant key would be excellent. Any thoughts or recommendations on this?

Do you have Diseases of Trees and Shrubs By Lyon & Sinclair? I saw some used first edition ones for $16. Not the latest, but was a "must have" 3 years ago...

It is not as easy to use as a tree key, but it is very inclusive and has great information. Sometimes just takes a little more time to find.

One of my favorite books for some of the most common conifer problems is: The Christmas Tree Pest Manual

That's cheap, but the 2nd edition has over $60 of updates imo. Still it's great, and very easy to use. they even have a common name index.

Bear in mind they will say little about treatment, just diagnosis.

any input on a book that might cover diagnosis and treatment?

to me, diagnosis is the tough part. once you diagnose, a few minutes in google ususally turns up some extension publications that will cover treatment.

i have not found a good book that covers both...I'd like to see one too.
