Description

This paperback edition of The Encyclopedia of Trees is a comprehensive study of 300 tree species native to North America, providing a snap-shot description of each tree, its features and natural environment. Benvie highlights the significant uses and values of each species, and provides a comprehensive chart rating zone hardiness. This is an invaluable guide for selecting and situating trees and also in determining whether a particular tree is adaptable to summer and winter extremes in a given area. The volume, lavishly illustrated with vivid full colour photographs, is written in simple, practical language and an excellent resource for anyone interested in gardening or landscaping in North America.
