Excellent information August 22, 2008
This book gives so much information on all types of conifers. From pruning to selection, it's a great source.
Love this book June 14, 2008
This book is wonderful. While it cannot possibly list all the cultivars, it gives nice details about cones, bark and how various evergreens can create a beautiful setting. Gorgeous photos of summer, fall and winter scenes showing the beauty of evergreens over the various seasons.

This book has lots of beautiful photographs which depict conifers in their mature size and shape. The book is inspiring but has an incomplete plant list. The author lists the most common varieties. A common problem with plant book is that it is hard to keep up with the new stock. I bought four new conifers this year that were not listed in the book. I would have liked to have seen some advise or planting designs on which conifers work well together. Overall it is a very inspirational book.

This book is a gorgeous, mouth-watering treatise on gardening with conifers. The photography accompanying the garden descriptions is spectacular with conifers shown in all kinds of light as well as different seasons. It makes you want to begin your gardens all over again using nothing but conifers!

this is a great reference on conifers. It shows how exciting and changeable conifers really are (I was never over-enthused by them previously). The book talks about how to use conifers in design, how to maintain them and then there is an encycolpedic reference at the end.
