About the Book

In 1794 Samuel Hayes - Irish MP, barrister, amateur architect and draftsman, and passionate planter of trees - wrote the first book on trees in Ireland: A Practical Treatise on Planting and the Management of Woods and Coppices. He was the man who designed and planted Avondale, the estate made famous as the home of Charles Stewart Parnell. Planting trees at Avondale was Samuel Hayes' passion, his Practical Treatise the culmination of his work. Commissioned by members of the Dublin Society (now the RDS) to write a simple guidebook, he said he wanted to do more than merely instruct people how to plant and manage trees. He wanted to inspire his countrymen to love trees. His death in 1795, only a year after the book was published, came early in his task, yet today the oldest trees at Avondale, beech, oak, larch and two gigantic silver firs by the river, are those planted by Hayes. Since its original publication in 1794, Hayes' book has become a rare and valuable collector's item. Now, for the first time in two hundred years, his Practical Treatise has been re-published. Not only a practical guide, it is also a celebration of the trees of the Irish countryside and its great demesnes. With a foreword by Thomas Pakenham, this pioneering book, with elegant illustrations by Hayes himself, engraved by William Esdall, will be a revelation for a new generation of tree enthusiasts. Supported by the Irish Tree Society.
About the Author:

Thomas Pakenham is the author of The Year of Liberty (1969), The Boer War (1979) and The Scramble for Africa (1991). He has written two bestselling books on trees, Meetings with Remarkable Trees (1996) and Remarkable Trees of the World (2002). He is married to Valerie Pakenham, author of The Big House in Ireland (2000), and they live on the family estate in Tullynally, County Westmeath, Ireland, where he plants trees with enthusiasm. In 1990 he became founder and chairman of the Irish Tree Society, which follows Samuel Hayes' lead in encouraging people to plant and preserve fine trees for posterity.
