From the author of Making the Most of Conifers and Heathers , this book is a guide to every aspect of growing and caring for conifers. The impact of their form and colour make them a fascinating and worthwile addition to almost any garden - from hedges to vast specimens, from trailing forms to miniature types. Topics discussed include the selection of suitable varieties, how to get the best out of this wide-ranging plant group, planting, aftercare, pruning, propagation and how to tackle any pests and diseases. Son of horticultural pioneer Alan Bloom, Adrian has become an acknowledged expert on conifers and heathers in his own right. As managing director of the highly respected nursery, Blooms of Bressingham, he is a well known lecturer, author and broadcaster.
