After nearly 60 years, with descriptions of more than 270 species and almost 200 illustrations, Textbook of Dendrology continues to remain a top resource for taxonomic and silvicultural information on North American trees. In this new edition, material throughout the text has been updated and expanded to provide current information on tree sizes, damaging diseases and insect pest, economic uses, and silvics. Because of growing concern for the environment, it is even more necessary for students to know and understand the importance of conservation. Many of these issues are incorporated throughout the book.

About the Book Experienced foresters and horticulturists can identify hundreds of trees and shrubs in their local and regional areas of interest. Systematic botanists organize plants according to their natural–evolutionary–groupings. Some students may find it helpful to utilize the fruits of the labor of systematic botanists to come to understand the phylogenetic relations existing among the trees and shrubs of a particular region. Handbook of Evolutionary Dendrology presents the most prominent genera of North American softwoods and hardwoods in accord with the findings of evolutionary plant researchers. About the Author Dr. Donald G. Fulton holds the bachelor’s degree in botany and zoology, and the doctorate in botanical science education. He has taught and served in administrative positions with the New York City Department of Education and The New York Botanical Garden, as well as with Mercy College and Teachers College, Columbia University. He currently spends summers in Maine, winters in Florida, and two weeks annually in Mexico.
