Drawing on thirty years of experience as a hands-on gardener and mingling a wealth of practical advice with an indefatigable passion for his subject, John Cushnie suggests trees to accommodate all needs, including many of his own favourites. Whether you desire beautiful summer flowers, vibrant autumnal colour or fascinating bark all year round, Trees for the Garden is an invaluable and comprehensive book that will make you want to get out there and plant a tree.Synopsis
