Making Both Ends Meet: Tree Growing and Forestry
Forstbotanisk Have, Charlottonlund, Denmark
A short paper which recalls in perspective some events in the present-day development of British forestry and notes the use made in the last fifty years of past work by British arboriculturists. Instances are given which include the establishment of the hybrid larch (Larix eurolepis) which gave rise to a new branch of forest activity, namely, forest tree breeding, and the introduction by arboriculturists of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga taxifolia) and other conifers from the Pacific coast.
