The history of rhododendrons is full of swashbuckling plant collectors and visionary gardeners, colonial violence and ecological destruction, stunning botanical successes and bitter business disappointments. And it is here related with consummate skill by Jane Brown, an English garden writer clearly besotted by these "glorious and scented strangers, with their mouth-watering candy colors, their cascades of way bells or iridescent globes proffered in ruffs of green leaves."
Includes the latest information regarding private and government programs for planting trees; also features a discussion of important environmental issues. Provides complete how-to steps and diagrams on growing and maintaining trees as well as excellent advice on selecting the best trees by location--cities vs. rural areas, each region of the US and much of Canada. The Tree List gives vital statistics for over 160 species and is accompanied by beautiful antique photographs.
