Taylor's Guide to Trees,
This review is from: Taylor's Guide to Trees (Taylor's Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
This tree book has been so helpful to my husband and I as we planned the landscaping of our new yard 6 years ago. So helpful, in fact, we recommend the book to friends who have also found it useful. The book is very helpful in describing what species of tree to plant for our zone. This small book is filled with very useful information. And, I like that the scientific names are used so that we do not make a mistake and purchase the wrong species. The book is filled with pictures and descriptions of what the tree will look like at maturity.

Nearly useless,
By A Customer
This review is from: Taylor's Guide to Trees (Taylor's Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
While the Taylor guide provides some useful information, such as how tall a tree may be at various ages, unless you know the latin name for the tree in question, it is nearly impossible to find anything!! Unless you're a botonist, don't buy it!
