Why read it?
1 author picked Dirr's Encyclopedia of Trees and Shrubs as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Trees and shrubs – the woody plants – form the backbone of any garden and most gardeners only have room for a small number of them. It is therefore important to pick the best ones for the location you have. Dirr's Encyclopedia of Trees and Shrubs is the best woody plant book available. It is full of hundreds of pictures and detailed plant descriptions. Michael Dirr is considered a global expert on these plants and he has grown many of them and speaks from personal experience. That is rare in encyclopedia-style books on plants.
From Robert's list on practical gardening.
