ReviewsThe descriptions include pithy recommendations on cultivation, especially with regard to appropriate habitats., It is a must-have for any gardener wishing to learn more about indigenous plants and interested in preserving the balance of native plants on their property., In addition to the alphabetical categorical listing, appendices list plants grouped according to cultural requirements, giving you a jump start on planning a garden for your particular soil requirements., My only problem with this book is that it serves a dual purpose, and I only have one copy. I want to keep it because of its scientific value, but I also want to give it to my youngest son. . . I guess that I will have to buy another copy.

A quick read through will reveal many candidates for upcoming plantings. One could also use it as a casual field guide to identify plants and plant communities while hiking.

SynopsisWritten by Donald J. Leopold, expert in horticulture, botany, forestry, and ecology No other single volume on native plants has such comprehensive horticultural coverage as Native Plants of the Northeast: A Guide for Gardening and Conservation . Nearly seven hundred species of native trees, shrubs, vines, ferns, grasses, and wildflowers from the northeastern quarter of the United States and all of eastern Canada are included. Each plant description includes information about cultivation and propagation, ranges, and hardiness. An appendix recommends particular plants for difficult situations, as well as attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and other wildlife., Native Plants of the Northeast provides a foundation for the choice of native plants for different areas and climates--and a variety of sites in the garden--as well as for restoration of native plant habitats. This book is the most trustworthy single source for all who wish to cultivate native plants.

Interesting facts, beyond just a field identification guide
This isn't just a book about identifying native plants - there are interesting stories and observations unique to each species, which enhances appreciation for what you're looking at. The only downside is how the book is organized - alphabetically by genus - which doesn't lend itself well to finding what you're looking for (for example, a red tubular flower). Its not as big a problem in the vines, shrubs, and trees sections.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
