Taylor's Guide to Shrubs:

Taylor's Guides are the best around. So is this new addition to my gardening library.

Shrubs

Good book, although did not have as many photographs or plant selections as I would have liked.

excellant shrub guide

This is one of my favorite reference books that I refer to quite often, and it is very enjoyable just to look through it and to reread it with reference to what you are intersted in.Lots of good pictures and many,many plants.Chances are, what you are looking for is in this book.

Taylor's Guide to Shrubs

I purchased my first Taylor's Guide 20 years ago. I have since purchased most in the series after realizing I always always reach for Taylor's Guides first, before any of my other gardening books. We have homes in 3 different hardiness zones-3,6 and 9. Taylor's is comprehensive and accurate. My gardening failures have occured only when I couldn't resist a shrub, tree, plant etc. and chose to ignore the Taylor's planting, maintenance or hardiness zone recommndations. As I type, we are replacing sun shrubs with "Taylor ecommended" shade shrubs beneath maturing trees in zone 9.
