From About.com:
"David More paints himself a tree masterpiece. With John White's accompanying text, Mr. More exhibits most of the trees on this planet in one 800 page document. He leaves no tree leaf undisturbed. Over 1,000 trees are shown together with cultivar information and a brief history of their introduction to cultivation. Most species have growth, hardiness, wood and choice ratings for those who are interested in both horticultural and commercial forestry applications. The book explains why so many North American trees have been cultivated in Europe and how forests in the Western Hemisphere are of major importance to British and European landscapes. A fascinating picture book if you love trees."
