3.0 out of 5 stars The Hillier Manual of Trees and Shrubs, 27 Jun 2002
By andrew s jones (Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire Wales) - See all my reviews
The book has all you need to know about trees and shrubs for in your garden, they are listed alphabetically with a miriad of symbols explaining the particular plants needs and wonts. The main drawback of the book is that it hasn't any pictures thus depriving you the idea of what the plant could look like in your garden, words can only describe so much.
The book has many new trees/shrubs not included before,
but what do they look like ?! Apart from the lack of photography the book is be an invaluble guide on the subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars The verdant Inner sanctum, 7 Jan 2001
By A Customer
The tree and shrub (but also climbers/conifers/bamboo/and more) Gospel by the famous nursery since 1972. Revised and reprinted endlessly - and necessarily naturally!

For the professional and enthusiast, though this is text only! Cross-references, dates, and very specific information, like what bamboo flowered when and thus worth growing or not...

By A Customer
While architects may need pictures, this guide is produced as a serious reference work for the horticulture/design profesional.

invaluable.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very disappointing book, limited in scope and value
As an Architect, I found this reference book to be of very limited value. It has no photographs or sketches other than the one on the jacket, nor does it give useful details... Read more
