Review: An Arborist Bible - The botanical information, landscape use, growth rates, and pest vulnerabilities are comprehensive. This is a comprehensive reference source. Review: Excellent, comprehensive book - Excellent book cataloguing common trees and shrubs that an American gardener would encounter. Organized by genus, it is useful to know the scientific/Latin name for a plant, but the index will help you find it by common name as well. Each plant has excellent pictures and useful commentary, including common cultivars and Dirr's own take on them. In the back are lists of plants by interest: fall color, flower color, soil tolerances, etc. These are very useful to select and research potential new inhabitants in your own garden. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a significant garden, or just an interest in trees and shrubs. I've spent hours pouring over it and learned a great deal about what is growing in my yard and in my neighborhood. ## Features - TREES, WOODY, Encyclopedia Reference, Large Oversize format ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #111,339 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Shrub Gardening #14 in Tree Gardening #62 in Gardening & Horticulture Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 382 Reviews | ## Images ![Dirr's Encyclopedia of Trees and Shrubs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KJEF73PFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Arborist Bible *by J***Z on February 26, 2026* The botanical information, landscape use, growth rates, and pest vulnerabilities are comprehensive.

The book arrived quickly and was well-packed and in shrink-wrapped new condition. The book appears to be quite inclusive on it's subject matter and was chosen because of it's scope to be a part of good reference library. I often purchase books on gardening as gifts from Amazon because of the selection, pricing, and quick shipping.
