Home Gardener's Trees & Shrubs

Trees and shrubs lend any garden a sense of permanency even as they add texture and visual interest. Depending on the species you choose, they can form background scenery, provide focal points, add height or increase privacy within enclosed spaces. This handy guide offers helpful advice on selecting, planting, improving and maintaining these plants in the garden.

The book features a comprehensive plant directory that lists species from A-Z within various categories sorted by form and function, such as flowering season, rate of growth, fruit production, etc. The final section looks at how to care for your plants, giving practical advice on how to care for, prune and propagate them, as well as an overview of the pests, diseases and other problems to watch out for.
