Synopsis

Published in 1932 by Clarendon Press, R. S.

This vintage work was intended for an adult, academic audience, reflecting the scientific and administrative interests of its era.

The book meticulously details the introduction, acclimatisation, and cultivation of non-native tree species across various colonial territories. It explores how these 'exotic' trees were adapted and utilised, providing crucial insights into their ecological impact and economic significance within the imperial framework.

  • Forestry Practice and Management: Delves into the practical aspects of silviculture, including planting techniques, growth rates, timber characteristics, and the sustainable management strategies implemented for these introduced species to maximise their utility.

As an original 1932 edition, this cloth-bound work is an important reference for scholars and enthusiasts of natural history, forestry, and colonial studies. It offers a unique historical perspective on environmental change and the scientific administration of natural resources under British rule.
