Synopsis
The Hillier Manual of Trees and Shrubs is widely recognised as a classic horticultural literature, with more than 200,000 copies sold since first publication.

Over 9,000 plants representing more than 650 genera are described in detail, making it the definitive work for any gardener. The manual is published in a handy compact form, enabling users to take it with them on their nursery and garden centre visits, and for on-the-spot reference and identification at arboreta, parks and gardens. Revised, expanded and extremely manageable, this is the definitive reference work on trees and shrubs for every gardener on the move.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   46 of 47 people found the following review helpful: 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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

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...  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
