2002-06-27 The Hillier Manual of Trees and Shrubs

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.
