This exhaustive, lavishly illustrated A--Z encyclopedic guide to tropical and subtropical trees is destined to become a much-treasured, hard-used garden classic.

In addition to the 1,981 color photographs of trees taken in the wild at the peak of their condition, and over two hundred tree silhouettes depicting height and spread, there are eighty specially commissioned artworks of the morphology of leaves, flowers and fruit, as well as a collection of useful quick-reference checklists that will help gardeners, designers and planners to choose appropriate species for specific use and conditions. Tropical & Subtropical Trees contains handy summary boxes for every species that cover details such as growth habits, light and shade requirements, tolerances, soil types, details of propagation and problems that may occur, resulting in an irresistible mix of images, descriptive captions and informed reference texts. Margaret Barwick presents her considerable knowledge of the trees' natural habitat in a lively and accessible fashion, peppering her text with anecdotes and snippets of information on the trees' agricultural or medicinal applications, and even their sacred or mystical associations. Tropical & Subtropical Trees is an essential reference book for all enthusiastic gardeners, designers, professional landscapers and landscape architects, students of botany, arboriculturists and horticulturists, as well as the curious traveller with an interest in and passion for the tropical and subtropical.
