Easy guide to tree and shrubs

Excellent book. I found this a very quick read. It has easy access to areas via the index and the chapter breakdowns. The explanations on planting and testing of soils were easy to understand and really do work. I tryed it. Nice to be given advice and it works. I also was able to easily find trees and shrubs that would grow within specific regions. The authors humor in her chapter titles bring a light side and catch the eye. Great book for the dummy (like myself)who knows nothing about what a tree/shrub is or even less how and what to do with them. From this book I have graduated from dummy to a true novice. Thank you.
