Fifteen years after this review, we present a revised and expanded edition of this highly acclaimed reference. Among the changes is the addition of a foreword by Michael A. Dirr, author of such classics as 'Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs: An Illustrated Encyclopedia'. New content and updates are found in "Why Conifers?", "The Magic of Conifers", "A Closer Look at Conifers" and in the detailed practical section, "Growing Conifers in Your Garden". This edition features the author's comprehensively revised Directory of 600 conifers, so current that it includes the Australian Wollemia nobilis, a two million-year-old species only recently found and genetically identified, and available at a select few nurseries. Other new features are "Conifers that Grow on You" and "The Mauergarten Story", which chronicles the author's design of the garden at one of Germany's premiere nurseries.

Comprehensive in scope and lavishly illustrated, the book includes a directory of more than 600 conifers and expert advice. Gardening with Conifers is a thorough and beautiful guide to coniferous trees and shrubs of the world. Stunning colour photographs show conifers young and old in a variety of environments, from small gardens to many-acred gardens. It reveals the magic that conifers bring to a garden and how they create structure and balance for year-round visual interest and colour.
