I wasn't expecting this to be an interesting read, but learned alot of interesting facts and helpful information of the care, design, and history of specific conifer species. Will keep this on my book shelf of valuable resources to have on hand for my landscape design work !

Although written by Englishman the book showed awareness of other climates which made it not only an interesting but relevant read for a Canadian.
