5.0 out of 5 stars
Great value for color photographs alone!,
By Rachelle Ayala (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Trees & Shrubs (Botanica) (Paperback)
The variety of trees and shrubs covered in this handy guide of 1000 pages is incredible. Each genus is described, and a selection of species within the genus is photographed either of the foliage, flowers, or growth habit. Cultivation notes are included, along with descriptions of the species, or cultivars. The color photographs are what makes this book stand out. For example, there are more than 30 color pictures of the various pine species, 52 pages and more than 130 color pictures of rhododendrons, 45 pages and more than 120 color pictures of roses, 15 pages and more than 80 color pictures of camellias. And since the pictures are in color and show the beauty of the flower or the habit of the shrub or tree, foliage color, you can really plan your purchases before heading to the nursery, or take the book along to visualize a fully grown specimen.

Great Book,

This review is from: Trees & Shrubs (Botanica) (Paperback)
I love this book, and as a horticulture student at Kansas State University, I think this book should replace some of our course books that we use. With it being only $20 it would save so much money for many students.
