"Trees, Shrubs, & Hedges for Home Landscaping, " a magnificently illustrated book, presents over 1,000 of the best woody species and cultivars for all regions of the United States and southern Canada. They are "best" because they're beautiful, low-maintenance, pest- and disease-resistant, and available at local nurseries and home centers. This environmentally friendly book is both a comprehensive reference on top-rated plants and a complete guide to their selection, planting, and care. Within separate tree, shrub, and hedge sections, more than 520 full-color photographs and 120 paintings showcase plant features and illustrate procedures step by step.
