Comment:      This is the most complete book on trees I’ve ever seen.  It is about 1,200 pages of information written by a man who obviously loves trees and who knows a great deal about them.  Though this is a genuine and informative reference work, it is written in a relaxed style I find most engaging.

Comment:      A “soup to nuts” book about Leyland cypress.  This little book is the first I ever read about the Leyland and, though some of our newer knowledge is slightly different, it is still a great place to start if you are seriously interested in this particular tree.
