Trees for Northern Landscapes

Trees for Northern Landscapes is a practical, full-colour guide to selecting, planting, and caring for trees suited to cold climates (USDA Zones 2–4), particularly across the Canadian Prairies and northern U.S. Written by experienced Manitoba nursery growers, the book profiles hundreds of hardy species and cultivars—including hybrid oaks, aspens, poplars, and disease-resistant ornamentals.

 

It combines clear planting advice, descriptions of tree form and growth habits, tips on avoiding common pests and diseases, and landscape design considerations. Richly illustrated with photographs, it is designed to help gardeners, landscapers, and landowners choose trees that will thrive in regions with harsh winters and short growing seasons.
