About This Book

The work examines the selection, cultivation, and management of forest trees for shipbuilding and related arboriculture, combining practical guidance on forming planks and timbers, recognizing suitable British species, and techniques for pruning, nursery practice, planting, and preventing rot—especially in larch. It surveys dimensions and shapes needed for vessel construction, soil and drainage considerations, and methods to encourage desirable tree forms. The author also connects arboricultural practice to national maritime policy, arguing for trade reforms and better naval provisioning, and offers critical reviews of contemporary planting manuals and their recommendations.
