Download or read book Growing Good Tropical Trees for Planting written by Kenneth Alan Longman and published by Commonwealth Secretariat. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Manual is the third in a series of readable, well illustrated handbooks about propagating and planting tropical trees.The five Manuals have been designed to provide clear and concise information on how to select, grow, plant and care for tropical trees, in both moist and drier parts of the tropics. They are intended for anyone interested in growing trees, from the small-holder to the large-scale grower, from local communities to national governments and from school and further education teachers to research and extension staff of agricultural and forestry departments. They provide illustrated, step-by-step instructions, practical guidelines and an outline of the thought processes behind them.Manual 3 deals with the all-important stage of the tree nursery. Growing good planting stock that is likely to establish successfully in the field depends on:• choosing a suitable site for the tree nursery• having some understanding of how tropical trees grow• selecting appropriate genetic origins of seeds and cuttings• producing young trees with favourable root systems• recognising the important relationships between trees and micro-organisms• building a well-trained nursery team• looking after the young trees carefullyThe procedures described in this series of Manuals may be used with the majority of woody species to provide diverse seedling or clonal mixtures. They include techniques for ‘domestication’, so that superior planting stock can increasingly be used. This can help to capture more rapidly the great potential for multiple usefulness offered by tropical trees, while also encouraging conservation of their genetic resources.

He subsequently became Director of the Botanic Gardens and remained so until 1949. In that year, he was appointed Professor of Botany at the new University of Singapore, retiring in 1954. While he was in Singapore and later, when he went back to England after retirements, Professor Holttum devoted detailed study to orchids, bamboos and ferns, and wrote several authoritative treatises on them. In 1951 he was awarded the degree of Sc. D. by the University of Cambridge in recognition of his published works on Malayan botany. Ivan Enochread Botany and Agricultural Botany at the University College of Wales, Aberyswyth. In 1950 he was appointed to the Department of Botany at the University of Malaya in Singapore under Professor Holttum. In 1960 Professor Enoch took up an appointment at the Faculty of Agriculture in Kuala Lumpur teaching Agricultural Botany. For several years he was invited to act as one of the judges at the annual M.A.H.A. show and also joined the Selangor Gardening Society, of which he was a committee member for some time. He now lives in West Yokrshire and continues his work on seeds.

Book excerpt: The idea of mixing tropical plants with perennials and hardy annuals has been around since Victorian times. It is now enjoying a newfound popularity because tropical plants are more widely available. Gardeners who want to bring the lush beauty of tropicals to an existing garden, or who want to create an authentic vintage garden, will delight in The Exotic Garden. Although tropicals are novelties in temperate climates, they can successfully be grown anywhere. Iversen shows how tropicals can easily be used as annuals to perk up a garden with color during non-blooming seasons. The author's expert advice shows how to grow tropicals in beds, borders, and containers, select and combine plants, and use the tools of color, texture, and form. Plus, there are special overwintering tips and a full color glossary of more than 100 plants.
