With its compact and easy-to-use format, this book is perfect to take along to the nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the comprehensive plant-selection tables, gardeners can see at a glance the most important characteristics of more than 1,500 trees and shrubs, helping them make the best choice for their garden's appearance and cultivation requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first part of Trees and Shrubs is the plant tables, which are organized by species name and list the plant's characteristics. These are: Height and spread Tree, shrub or conifer Cool, warm-temperate, subtropical or tropical climate Full sun, half-sun, heavy shade Flowering season Deciduous or evergreen Showy foliage, showy flowers Flowering season Suitability to container planting Indoor use Frost tolerance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving chosen a plant from the table, the gardener then turns to the book's second part, which describes the more than 1,500 species, cultivars and hybrids in greater detail. This includes growing zones and common names, as well as the plants' origins, color variations, growth habit (whether, for example, the shrub is slow growing), propagation techniques, recommended uses, problem parasites or diseases, and extra cultivation notes. Color photographs illustrate a select number of plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrees and shrubs are costly, and it's despairing to plant a new one only to see it fail. Trees and Shrubs helps gardeners choose the right plant for the right place--and that is the key to a beautiful and successful garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tony Rodd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firefly Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781554078363\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tony Rodd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68213538652388,"sku":"FRK000003846","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/81pIbP7FlaL.jpg?v=1794344086","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/used-like-new-trees-and-shrubs-a-gardeners-encyclopedia-tony-rodd-paperback","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
