Knowing when and how to plant a tree are crucial to its survival. But if
you select the wrong tree for your particular area and conditions, the
proper planting techniques will not make a difference. Because Texas is
a big place with varied climates, soils, and water qualities, a wide
variety of trees can be grown there. Howard Garrett, also known as the
"Dirt Doctor," explores the wide-ranging possibilities in a book that
will prove its value to homeowners, landscape architects, contractors,
nurseries, gardeners, and others who want healthy trees. Texas Trees
includes a complete description of native and best-introduced trees and
gives details on natural habitats and preferred sites, planting and
maintenance, identification information, flowers, fruit and foliage,
culture, problems, and propagation. Texas Trees is for all Texas tree
lovers, from the Red River to the Gulf Coast, the piney woods to the
deserts and mountains.
