Guide to Ornamental Trees and Shrubs

The Guide to Ornamental Trees and Shrubs, which inventories over 1 200 species and varieties of vegetation found in the various regions of Quebec, is a comprehensive reference guide for everyone - from weekend gardeners to trained holticulturists and landscape architects.

Thinking of planting a particular type of tree? Just turn to the corresponding section for all the relevant informations: leaf colour in summer or fall, flower colour, growth rate, resistance to disease or de-icing salt, even potential to attract birds. And don't forget to consider root development and size at maturity before you plant! Some advance research will keep your garden healthy and control potential risks to your home - and the Hydro-Québec distribution system.

A large team of specialists combined their expertise to put this wealth of practical information at your fingertips. Now it's time to put your green thumb to the test!

Each descriptive page or data sheet covers one species or cultivar. The first section shows spacing requirements. This section is followed by various identifications, descriptions and ecological parameters, along with some general information. Figure 1 shows a sample data sheet, explaining all the elements, which are then discussed in the paragraphs therafter.
