Summary:
"It's simple:
broadleaved
evergreens
are
trees
that don't lose their leaves. And despite their versatility and beauty, they are often underused. Why? Most people, including knowledgeable gardeners, equate
evergreens
with conifers—and Christmas
trees
- rather than
broadleaved
plants. And many of the most attractive
broadleaved
evergreens
have only recently become commercially available. Sean Hogan - one of America's most respected and well-known horticulturists - aims to correct the problem with this groundbreaking title. Ten years of research has gone into the detailed descriptions and photographs of more than 300 choice
trees
. Hogan opens our eyes to a largely unexplored world of foliar beauty - from China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan to Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand; from Chile and Argentina to Mexico and the western United States. Among the profiled plants are the drought-tolerant, russetbarked manzanitas; the finely textured, glossy-leaved azaras; and the exquisitely fragrant michelias. Also included are little-known gems from such well-known genera as the hollies and oaks. Hogan has filled an obvious gap in horticultural literature. By bringing to light hundreds of exciting plants that have the potential to transform gardens, he also performs an outstanding service."--Provided by publisher.
