Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs
|
| | | This lavishly illustrated encyclopedia describes the best woody plants, from Abeliophyllum to Zenobia, adapted to cooler climates. It shows both habit and details - flower, fruit, bark, fall color - for more than 500 species and describes some 700 additional cultivars and varieties, many of which are illustrated. Although intended primarily for gardeners in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 to 6, this pictorial encyclopedia will be useful for those in warmer climates as well, since most of the species included will grow in Zones 7 and 8. It also includes useful lists for selecting plants for a variety of conditions or for characteristics such as flower color and fragrance, fruit, and fall color. With more than 1600 color photographs, it is a wonderful tool for garden designers, landscape architects, horticulturists, and plant enthusiasts.
