No more embarrassing mistakes!

A great resource for home gardeners and professionals alike. No more making impulse purchases and then discovering the cute 5' sapling will grow to a 30' monster in 5 years! The section on 'Japanese maples for specific purposes and locations' is particularly helpful for designers looking for that 'perfect' tree. I wish I had bought two; one for home and one for the car!
Terrific, well put together little resource guide!

Pocket Guide to Japanese Maples is an excellent companion to the ultimate maple reference book entitled, Japanese Maples by J.Vertrees and Peter Gregory. I find this book to be well thought out and consolidated. It includes addition information as to cultivation and some newer cultivar. This book gives the reader the most important information quickly, easily and succinctly. I is a very welcome addition and most appreciated.

This is an excellent companion, for any lover of Japanese Maples, to the Hardcover volume, "Japanese Maples" and it is transportable and can be used as a reference on the go. The descriptions and photos are spot on and it's organized by landscape purpose, location and size. It also includes 50 new cultivars. I would strongly recommend it.
