| Summary: | An updated edition of Bernd Schulz’s unrivaled practical guide to identifying trees and shrubs in winter. This second edition of the essential reference book for plant identification in winter is updated with new illustrations and fully revised text. To many plant lovers winter seems like lost time, but a glance at the twigs of trees and shrubs shows that this does not need to be the case. In contrast to other life forms, trees and shrubs do not die above ground but enclose their shoots for the next year in buds, presenting many characters which hardly change over time. Using these bud and twig characters, deciduous trees and shrubs can be classified reliably in winter, which is particularly important during planting time. Comprehensive and easy to use, Identification of Trees & Shrubs in Winter using Buds and Twigs contains over seven hundred species identifiable via their winter buds and twigs. The illustrated identification keys are easy to use, and a summary set of keys is provided as an appendix. Detailed descriptions are accompanied with 1,900 illustrations. |
