Illustrated Trees of Britain and Northern Europe

Product Information

Amelanchiers are often cited as the best trees for small gardens, as they offer blossom in spring, berries in summer and colourful autumn foliage. This means clearing enough shrubs and trees around a single tree to create a halo of light, enabling that one tree to thrive.

Trees provide fruit, spices, nuts, timber, shade, habitats, and oxygen, as well as absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Beautiful images provide the perfect complement to Wohlleben's words, with striking close-ups of bark and seeds, panoramas of vast expanses of green, and a unique look at what is believed to be the oldest tree on the planet.

Saplings are available in many different cultivated shapes and once planted can be trained exactly to suit your space. They can tap into fungal networks in the soil to care for each other by trading water and nutrients and to warn one another of drought and disease. Mulberries ( Morus alba or Morus nigra) make an interesting architectural feature in a small garden, thanks to their spreading, gnarled form.

The UK's native silver birch, Betula pendula is a popular tree for small gardens, with a light canopy, tactile peeling white bark and yellow leaves in autumn. Every European species is covered within its 800+ pages as well as many introduced species from all over the world. A beautifully illustrated paperback guide to the trees of the world, Trees: An Illustrated Field Guide is a must-have for any amateur naturalist’s backpack.

May also contain light spine creasing or a few markings such as an owner's name, short gifter's inscription or light stamp. My standard tree book by the late Alan Mitchell has been a constant companion for nearly thirty years but it was getting a little out of date. Für jeden, der etwas mehr über unsere Bäume wissen möchte und eine wunderbare Hilfe für Laien bei der manchmal etwas schwierigen Identifikation von Laub- und/oder Nadelgehölzen. David More is a leading botanical illustrator who has previously illustrated guides on European and North American trees.

David More spent over a decade painting these illustrations from real specimens, and fellow tree expert John White's informative text describes key facts about each. Within a single day the modest 7m x 10m space was transformed from a building site into a secret garden, sheltered from the outside bustle of the street and animated not only by sunlight streaming through the boughs, but also by the amelanchiers’ kooky, sinuous stems and later, their April blossom.Something very personal, a keepsake gift to celebrate the sense of pride and love Grandparents have for their favourite little people. Youll get to know your arboreal neighbors characteristics and habits and be able to introduce them to your friends and family. In many small gardens there is already a tree that could form the perfect focus for the garden if given the space.
