Great book on trees and shrubs for the northern great plains

As a director of the Ag. experiment station at NDSU, Fargo, ND, Donald Hoag is a horticulturist who has spent a great deal of time studying shrubs and trees in the plains region. Given our extreme climate and soil conditions, this book should be on the bookshelf of anyone who is considering planting a tree, or wanting to identify that bane of a plant in the back yard. The book is filled with relevant information from cover to cover, including sketches and photographs of plants, leaves and buds. Descriptions of all aspects of trees and shrubs, from disease effects to bark color are described in detail. There is even a section on color, if you want to coordinate your scenery changes by season.Far from a being strictly a horticultural text, this book will give the everyday Joe the ability to select the proper tree or shrub for their next project either by common name or by species. This is the best book I've come across on trees and shrubs in our region.
