Aljos Farjon is a botanist of world renown for his work on conifers, on which he has published 11 books and more than 100 papers and articles, and has received several international awards. He carried out much of this work whilst on the staff of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and continued with it in retirement as an Honorary Research Associate at Kew. He has been actively involved in conservation, and has led the IUCN Red List assessment of all conifer species twice. Continuing his passion for trees, Aljos has shifted his research interests to the extraordinary wealth of ancient oaks in his adopted country, England.
"England is home to an uncommonly large number of ancient oak trees, with at least 3,300 trees estimated to be more than 400 years old. The new book Ancient Oaks in the English Landscape by botanist Aljos Farjon, gives an up-close look at these trees, which can live for 800 to 1,000 years."-- "Wall Street Journal"
