No other book offers such complete information about trees, shrubs, woody vines, and ground covers for USDA Zone 8, an area that begins at the Texas-Mexico border and cuts a wide swath across the Deep South to include Louisiana, southern Arkansas, the southern halves of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, the Florida Panhandle and north-central Florida, and parts of coastal North Carolina and Virginia. It includes all areas with an average minimum temperature between ten and twenty degrees Fahrenheit.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this catalog of native and introduced trees, shrubs, and plants for gardens located in hardiness Zone 8 (particularly the Southeast from South Carolina to north and central Florida, and west to parts of Texas), the Rogers provide general information about major species, including geographic origin, botanical description, and brief cultivation advice. But they offer little details about specific cultivars (most notably in the section on roses). Several charts summarize horticultural characteristics, but some include a disconcerting number of question marks under flower or fruit color. Entries are arranged by generic name with indexes providing further access by common name and family. The overall approach of this book is more conversational and anecdotal than other similar regional titles, such as R. Gordon Halfacre's Landscape Plants of the Southeast (Sparks Pr., 1986). For public and academic libraries in the region, comprehensive collections elsewhere.
