By Guy Sternberg és Jim Wilson
This beautiful tree book begins by preparing a native tree landscape in a great "Getting Started" section. A brief but meaty review on landscape management segues to a "Menu" of 96 common native American trees. The trees are individually reviewed with a wealth of information including range, seasonal and physiological descriptions. Each tree's habitat and associated assets and problems are discussed. I love the final comments which share some of the most interesting "facts" on each tree.
Just the perfect book for creating a native tree landscape, Guy Sternberg and Jim Wilson's book "Native Trees for North American Landscapes: From the Altantic to the Rockies" is available from Timber Press, Inc. Packed with hundreds of stunning photos this landscape guide will certainly be a forest lover's companion for years to come. The hard-bound and illustrated book of 552 pages offers some of the best information on native trees in print.
