This is a beautifully illustrated gardening book for exotic conifers. The first half of the book provided a general overview on conifers, using conifers in your garden, and the story of the conifer collection at the Mauergarten garden in Germany. The last half of the book is a directory that the author labelled as some of the best conifers for gardening. Each entry has the zone for cold and heat tolerance, growth rates, and size categories (miniature, dwarf, intermediate or slow growing and large). A list of garden and specialist supplies, bibliography, and further readings along with an index end the book. Readers will learn how flowers and cones, foliage, buds and shoots, bark and tree form visually impact the garden. Although the author includes nuggets of practicable advice throughout, the novice gardener may be overwhelm by the complexity of arrangement and lack of information on conifers common in their areas.
