| this book is exactly what you would expect from a little Collin's gem, it has good material through out, and a pretty good selection of the most common trees....but, i would have preferred to see real photographs rather than artists drawings, which, sometimes are not as good a reference as an image of the real thing. Furthermore i would have liked to see bigger images of the type of bark from each tree since half the year the trees have no leaves, and the bark, leafless shape, and habitat is all you have to go on.
this is however a good introduction read for summer time tree hunting, wouldn't recommend it for winter though. if you are up for a better book i recommend:- Collins Complete Guide to British Trees: A Photographic ... Read More |

| 2.The Tree and Shrub Expert (Expert Books) by: Dr. D. G. Hessayon October 01, 1999 |

| I found this book really helpful with lots of illustrations and easily understood information about lots of trees and shrubs. I managed to identify several of my shrubs that I did not know the name of, from the illustrations, as there are some quite unusual ones there. My only wish would be that the book was in the same format, but dealing with flowering shrubs only and twice as many of them. Overall though an excellent book.

| It is true that this has to be one of the worse titled books of all time. A FLORA in any sense here should be an identification guide and it isn't that at all - it is a personal exploration of various plants concentrating not necessarily on the most important but on those for which the author has an affection for or simply information on. The main interests are folklore and distribution - industry and use and even literature get short shrift, oddly. It is true too that plant introductions are widely covered, but the distinction in terms of salience would be rather misleading (do we miss out horse-chstnut?...). The joy of this book which frankly does NOT look as though it was twenty years (flap) in the making is the writing and out of the way sources Mabey ... Read More |

| Tony Kirkham's profile was given a great lift with the "Year at Kew" series on BBC2 and this has no doubt been of benefit to the book's sales figures happily.
So when someone of Ton Kirkham's reputation and public profile revises and enlarges upon a good book like "The Pruning of Trees, Shrubs and Conifers" it is very welcome indeed! The problem is, not many people write decent books about trees. Most are more interested in chopping them down or mutilating them in some way. Sadly this is usually due to ignorance and failure to understand how trees work. This book goes a long way to bringing enlightenment to its readers. It is a very good book. With an excellent tree by tree section on their specific requirements etc. Tony has also ... Read More |
