Book Reviews of Native Trees, Shrubs, and Vines: A Guide to Using, Growing, and Propagating North American Woody Plants
Book Review: THE resource for native plant info!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 'bible' of native plant info when it comes to the woody species. His native wildflower guide is equally impressive for that category of plants. This book is stuffed cover to cover with detailed info about each plant. If you want to know how to plant it, where to put it (light and soil needs), what kinds of wildlife you can expect it to feed or draw in, etc. this is the book for you.
Summary of Native Trees, Shrubs, and Vines: A Guide to Using, Growing, and Propagating North American Woody Plants
For gardeners, for landscape professionals, and for anyone who cares about preserving the natural world, NATIVE TREES, SHRIBS, AND VINES is the first national guide to using, growing, and propagating North American woody plants.Written in lively, informative language and illustrated with more than two hundred photographs, William Cullina's book is a comprehensive reference to almost one thousand native woody plants. An invaluable guide for naturalists, restorationists, nursery owners, landscape architects, and designers as well as gardeners, it points out that ecological gardening offers specific benefits to the individual as well as the environment. Even more than wildflowers, native trees, shrubs, and vines are essential to providing the food and shelter that attract birds and insects to the garden. And plants that are native to an area are far easier to grow and maintain than ordinary cultivated garden plants.
The author's acclaimed companion volume on wildflowers, GROWING AND PROPAGATING WILDFLOWERS, was called "an inspired effort, beautifully written and loaded with useful information" by Robert G. Breunig, director of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Along with that volume, NATIVE TREES, SHRUBS, AND VINES provides a definitive reference to the native plants of the temperate North American continent. And because Cullina writes from personal experience with the plants in his books, he offers information that is considerably more helpful (and more interesting) than the facts one finds in most plant references.
