Compiled by two of the world's authorities on the subject and illustrated throughout in full color, this book is the most complete collection of photographs of conifers ever assembled. The authors' acclaimed earlier book, Conifers, forms the nucleus of Conifers: The Illustrated Encyclopedia, but the greatly expanded coverage of cultivars and additional photos make the present work more than twice the size.
The authors have added 10 genera, bringing the total covered to 65. Included for each genus are notes on distribution, discussion of botanical characteristics and classification, and lists of species of particular merit. New in this two-volume set are a common name index, an index of synonyms, a suggested reading list, and a brief essay on photographing conifers. The photographs display fine details of bark, cones, and needles as well as general habit.
