Synopsis: Improve your outdoor space with this detailed guide to selecting, planting, pruning, and renovating every kind of tree and shrub. No matter what the type of garden or outdoor space, trees and shrubs are usually featured. This is because they are so versatile. Depending on the species chosen, shrubs and trees can form the background to a garden, be a focal point or add height to an overlooked garden. Whatever your garden needs, a tree or shrub can provide it. Home Gardener&’s Trees & Shrubs details the basics of choosing, buying, planting, establishing, and transplanting. A comprehensive plant directory has A–Z lists of species within different categories: seasons, color, size etc. The final section of the book looks at how to care for shrubs and trees, giving practical advice on how to prune and clip, and the pests, diseases, and other problems to watch out for.
