A work that seems little-known as indeed is the author within horticultural circles. Greenwood had an estate in Hampshire at Brookwood Brockwood House near Bramdean. The tree-lifter was the Colonels invention for transplanting trees up to 30 feet in height with their ball of earth intact a feat the apparatus apparently made possible for a single individual to do at a rate of one tree per day. The somewhat aptly-named Colonel Greenwood was very enthusiastic about the importance of trees to the landscape and the first edition was published in 1844. Colonel Greenwood is said to have excavated local archaeological sites and was a keen geologist referred to as the father of subaerialism ascribing the greater inequalities in the earths surface to atmospheric influences. He published a further book in 1857 entitled Rain and Rivers. His main thesis was the supremacy of rainwash as an agent of land sculpture and the realtive unimportance of streams and rivers. It was said in his obituary that 'had he fallen amongst geologists in early life instead of amongst thoroughbreds he would doubtless have occupied a leading place among men of science'. He does not appear in Hadfield's History of British Gardening nor more surprisingly in Desmond's Dictionary. Third edition. Cloth. Good. Longmans Green & Co. Hardcover
