I have recently purchased the aforementioned book, and have found it to be extremely informative. I am a new homeowner, the lot of the home that I purchased 1 1/2 years ago was completely barren, and I wanted to make it beautiful! I wanted year-round color, especially in my backyard, and this book provided me with many ideas for plant material that would accomplish this goal. In addition to beautiful photographs, there was additional information provided, such as plant maturity height, spread, best soil types, etc. This book will be a wonderful resource for years to come!

This book is a true encyclopedia of Evergreen Trees and Shrubs. Unfortunately, it has very little information on gardening or transplanting Evergreen Trees, although "Successfull Gardening" is part of the book title. Additionally it makes no mention of the Pine trees most common in the Rocky Mountain region, the Lodgepole Pine, and no mention of the costly pest, the Pine Beetle, which are two of the reasons I purchased this book.

This book about the plants that you can use in your gardens. If you are a landscape architect or a student you can need this book in your whole occipation life. This book is about the trees and shrubs.
