Gardening with Conifers (Second Edition)

This revised edition features the author’s comprehensively revised directory of 600 conifers along with expert advice, and includes the Australian Wollemia nobilis, a two million-year-old species discovered in 1994 now genetically identified, and available.   Comprehensive in scope and lavishly illustrated, Gardening with Conifers is a thorough and beautiful guide to coniferous trees and shrubs of the world.  Stunning colour photographs show conifers young and old in a variety of environments, from small gardens to many-acred gardens. It reveals the magic that conifers bring to a garden and how they create structure and balance for year-round visual interest and colour.
