Intended for outdoor as well as indoor use, <i>The Arboriculturalist's Companion </i> is written in a concise and readable form and is a book that no one who is responsible for trees can afford to be without.<p>The second edition of <i>The Arboriculturalist's Companion </i> will be an indispensable reference for professional and weekend gardeners as well.
