5.0 out of 5 stars The Tree and Shrub Expert , 28 Aug 2008

By	Ryan Judd (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Another book that I wouldnt know what to do with out it, I have looked to buy many trees in the past that have a great write up but after reading this book it will say; Not for the small garden or shelter fronn winds etc.
A lot of information but also very easy ti understand.
I keep this book very close to hand and have taken it with me to many peoples gardesn to help identify trees.
A must for me when it comes to tree's location and pruning if any.
I had a tree with an unusal bark feature but I soon found the cause.
A must have book for anyone with 1 or more tree's in the garden.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners and experts alike, 8 April 2001

By A Customer

I borrowed a couple of books in the series a few years ago when we first started our garden. They really are excellent value, and it's much easier to garden with them than without. I've only ever seen them in garden centres so far, so I'm well-chuffed that they've appeared on Amazon. Now I just have to persuade people to give me the ones I want as presents. Wahey!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Tree & Shrub Expert by D G Hessayon, 1 Jun 2006

By	Mrs. Bun - See all my reviews

I found this book really helpful with lots of illustrations and easily understood information about lots of trees and shrubs. I managed to identify several of my shrubs that I did not know the name of, from the illustrations, as there are some quite unusual ones there. My only wish would be that the book was in the same format, but dealing with flowering shrubs only and twice as many of them. Overall though an excellent book.

An amateur gardener from Surrey.
