Synopsis
"Visually beautiful, with over 1,600 color photographs of woody plants that bring the text to life, this volume is destined to become a standard reference source for gardening and botany. Entries are arranged alphabetically by scientific name and describe the habitat, foliage, flower, fruit, availability from commercial sources, and landscape use of U.S. northern trees and shrubs, suitable for zones 3 to 8. Readable, short essays reflect the experience and personality of the author, a professor at the University of Georgia. About the Carolina hemlock, Dirr says that "many gardeners rave about this species ... [but] my heart never missed a beat." Dirr took all the photographs during his 25 years as a horticulturist, and there is generally a shot of the full bush or tree and smaller close-ups of the fruit and the leaves of each. Thirty-four tables assist the landscaper in "Selecting Plants for Specific Characteristics or Purposes," such as flowering sequence, flower color, or shrub size".--"Outstanding Reference Sources : the 1999 Selection of New Titles", American Libraries, May 1999. Comp. by the Reference Sources Committee, RUSA, ALA.

This encyclopedia includes all the necessary information for growing more than 500 species of trees and woody plants in cool climates--primarily zones 3 to 6. Along with basic information on hardiness and optimum planting locations, another useful feature is a guide to choosing trees and shrubs for a particular feature, such as fragrance, fruit, or winter color. Includes more than 1600 color photographs.

Publisher's Note
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.

Industry Reviews
Garden writer Dirr (horticulture, Univ. of Georgia) here presents the best woody plants adapted to cooler climates, in particular USDA Hardiness Zones 3 to 6. However, since most of the species described will grow in Zones 7 and 8, his encyclopedia will also be helpful to those in warmer regions. Depicting both character and traits (fruit, flower, bark, or autumn color), the volume covers over 500 species and some additional varieties and cultivars. Each entry enumerates scientific name, common name, detailed plant description, environmental conditions, place in the landscape, i.e., woodlawn tree or lawn tree, and hardiness zones. Of particular merit are the bibliographical features invaluable listings of plant choices for specific characteristics along with a USDA Hardiness Zone Map, a conversion table for metric measurements, an index of plant scientific names, and an index of plant common names. A superb photographer, Dirr skillfully and carefully selected the 1650 color photographs from the vast slide collection he has developed over two decades. Highly recommended for horticulturists, landscape architects, arboreta, botanical gardens, and all libraries needing a comprehensive reference on woody plants. Also available is the Woody Plant Photo Library CD-ROM (Timber Pr., 1997. $149.95.) [Garden Book Club main selection.] Daniel Kalk, Enfield, Ct.
