Why read it?
1 author picked A Natural History of Western Trees as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I own hundreds of books on plants and trees. The two finest books written on American trees were both written by Donald Culross Peattie. His book on Western trees is amazing. When he looks at and writes about a particular tree, he mentions everything about it. What it looks like, where it grows, how big it gets, what it is used for, what animals, birds, insects use this tree. He also mentions in detail how it flowers, sets seeds, grows….he misses next to nothing. Totally recommended!
From Thomas' list on allergy-friendly landscapes.
