Trees for the garden - John Cushnie

Every garden should have a tree, and it is a boring and uninspiring landscape that is devoid of their shape and structure. There are suitable ornamental trees for all but the very smallest gardens. Choose with care and they will provide year-round interest, and live long enough for many future generations to enjoy. Drawing on 30 years of experience as a practical gardener, John Cushnie suggests over 200 trees to accommodate every need. Whether you have an exposed and windswept site or a boggy clay soil, whether you need a row of trees to make your garden more private or a single specimen as a focal point in the lawn, there is a tree here for you. If you want glorious autumn colour, bright summer flowers or fascinating bark all year round - or if what you really care about is impressing the neighbours - this volume will tell you what you need to know.
