Wonders of the Winter Landscape by Vincent A Simeone

Wonders of the Winter Landscape by Vincent A Simeone

Although North America suffers through several dreary months of winter each year, this guide describes trees and shrubs that make the barren winter landscape a wonderland of texture and color. Part one of the book conveys the elegance of deciduous trees and shrubs with an extreme attention to detail--Persian parrotia offers twisted, sinuous branches and exfoliating bark; witch hazel presents distinctive yellow and orange straplike flowers; and beautyberry produces vivid purple berries the birds cannot resist. A shorter second section discusses the virtues of evergreens, both broadleaf and coniferous, and includes two useful appendices that cover evergreen care and list deer-resistant trees and shrubs.

"This small, bright book gives garden inspiration for an often overlooked season in the garden" -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"You'll find lots of inspiration." -- Star-Ledger "A very nice little book." -- Washington Gardener
