Tree and Shrub Finder, The: Choosing the Best Plants for Your Yard
Kourik's guide will assist gardeners in choosing the right trees and shrubs for their individual needs. Part 1 covers many of the functions that trees and shrubs can offer the gardener, the home, and the landscape. Such elements as privacy, sun and shade, lawns, colorful foliage and bark, and birds and butterflies are considered, each with a list of suggested trees and shrubs. In Part 2, Kourik explains how to care for the trees and shrubs; buying options, planting, fertilizing, staking, watering, mulching, and pruning are discussed, and data on pest and disease control are presented. The 105 color photographs and 60 line drawings complement the helpful text.George Cohen
