Riassunto

Adrian Bloom explains how to make the best use of conifers in any garden landscape, large or small, and provides a directory of over 200 of the best cultivars. First looking closely at their attributes - colour and texture, flowers and cones - Bloom reveals their wide diversity. He describes and illustrates how conifers can be used in the garden, to provide balance and structure, and year-round visual interest and colour - in the form of features, hedges or topiary, planted with heathers, other shrubs and ornamental grasses; or as ground cover; and in different situations such as troughs, screen beds, and rock and alpine gardens. All the practical tips needed for success are provided.

Recensione:

Adrian Bloom has produced a reference work that should appeal to a wide range of gardeners and encourage at least some sceptics to give conifers a try ... an enjoyable and reassuring read || The quality and number of colour photographs, along with its illustrations, make it such a good read, it surpasses most books that I have seen on the subject ... I have no doubt it will become a 'must' for all gardeners particularly conifer specialists, as it is based on real experience from an authority on the subject
