THIS BOOK IS A MUST !!!

It's almost always by my side. As a landscape designer, sometimes I draw a blank when looking for a specific plant for a specific, sometimes tricky, situation. This book has about 100 different lists to work with (maybe more?, maybe less, but it seems like 100 or more!) A few examples: Vines that climb by tendrils versus by twining versus by clinging; trees that have problem root systems, drop messy fruit or leaves, or that have beautiful bark and/or trunk structure; shrubs for oceanside sites, for erosion control, for shady areas. There are the same types of lists (plus many more) for ground covers, perennials, annuals, etc; The lists only give the common and botanical name for the plants in each catagory, it does not give any details about the plant, so you have to know your plants. But for anyone in the profession, or an amature who knows their plants, this book is a must. The only drawback: it doesn't have a cross reference/ index for each of the lists, so you have to go through each chapter (broken down by perennials, trees, shrubs, roses, vines, ferns, ground covers and annuals.) I still recommend it 100%.
