Photographs by Don Walker, Text by Steve Brigham

First published less than two years ago, our original Ornamental Trees of San Diego was a sell-out success.  This book proved that a book on the trees of a specific region can serve not only that region but also serve as a valuable reference in other parts of the world as well.  That’s why we’ve changed the title for this second edition, and we welcome new readers around the world and also our Southern California friends.

           Ornamental Trees for Mediterranean Climates is the first hardbound, full-color book to showcase 260 of the most beautiful trees of the San Diego area with detailed descriptions and cultivation tips.  Up to three color photos illustrate each tree, including close-ups of flowers, bark, fruit and leaves.  An easy-to-use color chart shows which trees are in bloom each month of the year.  All the trees were photographed in garden settings, with over 500 gorgeous color photos by Don Walker, founder of the San Diego Horticultural Society.  The text is by horticulturist Steve Brigham, owner of Buena Creek Gardens. This important and lavishly-illustrated book is published by the San Diego Horticultural Society.  This book will make a wonderful addition to your library, a great gift, and a perfect souvenir for visitors to this area.  Purchase several and donate one to your local public library, school, etc.

 

Book format:

8-½ ” x 11”, hardcover

152 pages, 500+ color photos, easy-to-use-color chart, sources, bibliography, indexes of common and botanical names

List price: $34.95
