Great choice for tree identification and knowledge
This is a must for the person who loves the outdoors and trees! I bought this for my Dad and he loves it. Lots of useful information.
I wish it was online
Having paid a pretty penny for this book, I now wish it was online.
I agree with all the positive reviews I've read on this site. Dirr reviews a very broad array of species within each genus... he has lots of helpful pictures... his critiques are pointed, and he calls a spade a spade...
The thing I miss is a "synoptic" table, in which I could sort the trees by habit, mature size, light tolerance, moisture preference, etc etc etc.
If not online, perhaps with a CD inside. I would very willingly part with another couple of bucks, to make the database searchable and analyzable.
useful client gift
I am a Landscape Architect practicing in the Berkshire Region of Western Massachusetts. This particular Michael Dirr book is used almost daily in our design office. It is an excellent guide for seeing pictures and accurate descriptions of woody plant materials suitable for our region.
We also give this book as a gift to some of our clients who have an interest in the trees and shrubs that we plant on their property.
