Although trees have many beneficial characteristics, choosing which species to plant, particularly for a specific region like the Midwest, can be challenging. In this guide, Scott Zanon covers
65 desirable species of trees including five species of maple, three buckeyes, two hornbeam and many more. For each species he includes the scientific and common name as well as important
details including the hardiness zone, mature size, fall color, and disease and insect problems. Also included are 325 color images, five or six per tree, that depict the tree in a variety of
seasons to better enable readers to make decisions on favorite species. Zanon includes information on and the signs and symptoms of emerald ash borer as well as a growth rate table, map of
hardiness zones, and a plant usage guide. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
