Product Information

uk/media/catalog/product/1/2/12093915---trees--an-illustrated-celebration---1200x1200px---_c_-n-_2_. Hornbeam and limes are commonly trained as pleached or stilted trees and can be bought ready trained. The world’s most stunning, strange, and noteworthy trees—from mangroves and redwoods to baobabs and dragon trees—come to life in Oseid’s elegant and playful style. In his international bestseller The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben opened readers’ eyes to the amazing processes at work in forests every day. Für jeden, der etwas mehr über unsere Bäume wissen möchte und eine wunderbare Hilfe für Laien bei der manchmal etwas schwierigen Identifikation von Laub- und/oder Nadelgehölzen.

Authoritative, easily accessible guide omits lengthy technical descriptions in favor of easy-to-use keys covering such characteristics as leaves, twigs, bark, buds, seeds, stems, fruit or fruit stalks and other identifying traits. Dust Jackets are not guaranteed and when still present, they will have various degrees of tear and damage.

The paintings are well executed, as tree photos in books don't always work (backgrounds making the subject unclear etc). It wasn't clear to me prior to purchase that the illustrations are not photographs, but after reading this book, I rather like the illustrations, as they capture the salient features of the tree bark and leaves in ways photographs might not. In Scandinavia the use of woodland as a setting for your home is common; in the UK, less so, but trees planted up close to the glass of a modern extension to frame intimate views can work really well. Saplings are available in many different cultivated shapes and once planted can be trained exactly to suit your space. The result is an extraordinary reference that will continue to be prized by nature enthusiasts, gardeners, landscapers, and foresters.
