“The Timber Press Pocket Guide to Japanese Maples describes and illustrates 300 of the most widely available Japanese maples in North America and Europe.  Along with basic information on cultivation and maintenance, it provides lists of trees for specific landscape uses, enabling gardeners to select the best trees for various garden conditions.  Fifty new cultivars are presented, including four outstanding trees that are expected to become very popular in the near future.  The guide is a valuable complement to the 3^rd edition of J.D. Vertrees’ Japanese Maples (updated in 2001 by Peter Gregory).  Its handy format makes it an ideal reference for taking to the nursery or garden centre and continues the Timber Press tradition of providing attractive, authoritative books for gardeners and plant enthusiasts.”
