Reviews"Recommended for libraries serving gardeners and readers who are interested in identifying trees on their land. Also for those readers interested in how many of the hybrid trees in this volume were created, where the trees originated, and how they came to the British Isles and America."-- Library Journal, "This book is beautifully illustrated and exceptionally meticulous in details. If you are like me and enjoy being able to identify the trees you see on a hike through the woods or a walk through a garden, this book should be in your library."-- RK, Wildlife Activist, I recommend this book for any tree lover, especially one who hankers to roam, tree by tree, across the northern temperate world. If you took the time to gaze each day at one of its pages, you would have a handy substitute for getting out of doors to look at live trees. If you are plotting your own arboretum, or just to plant a new tree in your yard or garden, this book will help you too. ---Bev Mcbride, Canadian Field Naturalist, "I recommend this book for any tree lover, especially one who hankers to roam, tree by tree, across the northern temperate world.
