Abstract
INTEREST in trees has increased with the augmented interest in gardening, while the recognition of the merits of roadside planting and the amenity value of trees in the modern vast conurbations has developed the need for more information concerning the exotic species. Moreover, the shortage of timber supplies has involved the economic exploitation of a wider range of species for many purposes and thus stimulated interest in them from other aspects.
