Synopsis

Time for trees is a fully illustrated guide to tree selection for the UK.

Review

Planting a tree is a large investment of time and resource for everyone's benmefit and the best time to plant that tree is now. Before planting, selecting the right species of tree for the right placer is one of the mosr important factors to consider; choosing a species with the right attributes for the right site and space. If we get that wrong the investment will be wasted. There is no excuse today for gettiung this process wrong, especially with books like Time for trees; to help the planter with the selection process. This wonderful book is packed full of very useful information on the dimensions of trees at maturity, soil preferences and their attributes in terms of leaf, flower and fruit supported by quality images making it an extremely useful guide to species selection for the UK. Now there is no excuse for planting the wrong tree in the wrong place. --Tony Kirkham, Head of the Arboretum, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
