Product Description
The Timber Press Pocket Guide to Japanese Maples describes and illustrates 300 of the most widely available Japanese maples in North America and Europe. Along with basic information on cultivation and maintenance, it provides lists of trees for specific landscape uses, enabling gardeners to select the best trees for various garden conditions. Fifty newer cultivars are presented, including four outstanding trees that are expected to become very popular in the near future. The guide is a valuable complement to the 3rd edition of J. D. Vertrees' Japanese Maples (updated in 2001 by Peter Gregory). Its handy format makes it an ideal reference for taking to the nursery or garden center.

No more embarrassing mistakes! October 30, 2008
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!
 a must for the price July 7, 2008

this is a must for maple enthousiasts. it has plenty of pictures and descriptions, for the price you will not find better.
what I missed is a chapter about pests and diseases of these trees.
what is very good is a specific chapter where you can find the different species sorted by color, size, autumn color ...
