There has never been a more opportune moment to plant trees. In addition to their crucial role in preserving the health of the natural world and humanity, these vital life-sustaining plants offer a multitude of concealed advantages, including cooling shade, rainfall interception, and carbon sequestration. However, these benefits can only be realized by planting the appropriate tree in the right location.

International tree expert Henrik Sjöman, in collaboration with garden designer and ardent environmental advocate Arit Anderson, has crafted this visionary resource, tailored for the temperate regions of the world. The book commences with a comprehensive explanation of ecosystem services, elucidating how trees provide them. Certain trees excel in specific roles, such as serving as a food source for pollinators during periods of scarcity or purifying air pollution. Others have evolved to withstand extreme conditions, such as drought, low-nutrient soil, and strong winds.

At the core of the book lies a unique A-Z Tree Directory, featuring over 550 trees meticulously selected for their ecological benefits, resilience, and a range of other criteria that guarantee their sustained contribution to our future gardens and landscapes. Additionally, a concise Tree Selection Table offers a quick overview of key attributes for each species.

This groundbreaking new tree selection guide signifies a significant shift in approach, fostering the potential for more trees to reach their full growth and creating a more enriched environment for generations to come.
