Not all conifers are created equal, as writer and photographer Richard L. Bitner demonstrates in Timber Press Pocket Guide to Conifers. In the 1990s, Bitner fell madly in love with conifers and now he’s sharing that love with readers worldwide. This guide provides readers with an in-depth guide to one of nature’s most versatile and beautiful plants.
Conifers, such as spruces, firs, pines, or hemlocks, are a great choice for gardeners and homeowners looking for attractive, low-maintenance plants for their landscapes. In addition to being evergreen, conifers are also drought-, pest-, and disease-resistant. They rarely need to be pruned, watered, or fertilized.
Through the portable pocket guide, Bitner helps readers pick the conifers best for them with descriptive sections on each plant’s preferred growing conditions, susceptibility to pests and diseases, and more than 300 color photos.
