Book Description

April 25, 1996
Packed with more than 500 photographs of over 450 plants, Garden Trees is an inspiring handbook to help you identify, choose and grow your favorite ornamental trees. Discover at a glance the full range of garden trees available. Each entry combines a plant portrait with a concise botanical description, plus cultivation and propagation details. Helpful symbols indicate preferred growing conditions and cold hardiness. If you want a specific leaf or fruit color in a particular season, the Plant Catalog will offer you the perfect specimen. All the essential considerations, such as selecting a tree, preparing the ground, watering, mulching, feeding, weeding, pest control, and transplanting, are clearly explained. Pruning details include tips on coppicing, pollarding, and renovation. Propagation methods, from sowing seeds to planting hardwood cuttings, are also given. Whether you are planting a new garden or seeking new features of interest for an established one, Garden Trees is your indispensible, portable gardening companion. A lavishly illustrated flexibound, Eyewitness Garden Handbooks are the user-friendly guides that identify every type of garden plant with up to ten salient features, at-a-glance information on height, spread, and color, and useful cultivation symbols. There are also separate sections on gardening skills and a complete index of common names.
