"Trees and shrubs are extensively used to enhance public areas and green spaces, and the right decisions must be made to gain the optimal results from such schemes. Presenting a horticultural overview of the main temperate tree and shrub families cultivated in urban and rural landscapes, this book describes the identification, functional use and management of 38 plant families. With reference to over 700 taxa and 100 planting schemes, it will enable readers to assess the suitability of species and prepare planting designs for prevailing sites. A valuable text book for students of landscape architecture, horticulture and urban forestry, it will also be useful to professionals specializing in nursery stock for garden centres, arboriculturalists undertaking tree surveys and horticulturalists preparing inventories of cultivated plants."--BOOK JACKET.
