Good day all, I am looking for a book that shows in pictures & in a simple format explanation about how to identify tree deseases especially conifers(and hardwood) in BC(or Canada). Would anyone be able to recommend something like this? It does not need to be a huge encyclopedia but something portable? Thanks in advance.
For conifers, look out for: Diseases of Pacific Coast Conifers USDA Forest Service Agriculture Handbook 521 The copy I've got is a 1993 second edition, there may be a more recent update.
