Ornamental and Timber Trees (Classic Reprint): Not Natives of the Province of Quebec: Not Natives of the Province of Quebec (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Ornamental and Timber Trees not natives of the province of Quebec surveys a wide range of non-native species for climate, landscape value, and practical hardiness. It offers observations drawn from field notes and trials, with attention to how trees might fit streets, parks, and nurseries in Quebec and similar climates.

This edition presents an alphabetized look at botanic names and varieties, including maples, ashes, poplars, cherries, and several conifers. It weighs practical concerns—winter hardiness, soil, and regional adaptation—against ornamental appeal, offering guidance for planters, gardeners, and city foresters. While rooted in the author’s experiences, the work situates itself as a broader reference for selecting trees that improve landscapes without assuming native status.

- Real-world notes on hardiness and performance in Canadian climates
- Descriptions of numerous varieties, with focus on form, foliage, and growth
- Practical observations for nurserymen, planners, and serious amateurs
- Context on sources and how experimental plantings inform selection

Ideal for readers of horticulture, urban forestry, and landscape design who want a grounded, historical reference on ornamental and timber trees beyond native Quebec species.
