Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Like Rodale's organic view of perennials, this one on trees, shrubs and vines should find a permanent place on bookshelves devoted to green things. It's an single-minded reference that still accommodates variety and plenty in our yards, our gardens and our converted wilds. Appleton ( Container Nursery Design ), an associate professor of horticulture and an extension nursery specialist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and Scheider ( Success With Bulbs ) show how trees, shrubs and vines can add structure, stability and beauty to the landscape surrounding nearly any home. Impeccably well-organized and informed, the book is written clearly and authoritatively, with Rodale's characteristically friendly yet no-nonsense approach. And, as with the volume on perennials, in this one the plant lists excel: they are wonderfully wide-ranging and complete. You'll find elms, hemlocks and willows here, but also witch hazel, crape myrtle and burning bush. Entries are carefully detailed, with a small but edifying photograph of the specimen in question followed by its vital statistics, varieties, uses, care requirements and possible problems.
