They remain underutilised in the South, in part because of the common misconception that they are not adaptable to the climate. Laying such claims to rest, this book introduces readers to conifers that grow successfully in southern landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGardeners in the South traditionally have relied on the mass of spectacular spring blooms as the mainstay of their landscapes. However, with the addition of conifers or cultivars of the genus ginkgo, homeowners can enjoy twelve months of low maintenance color. Tom Cox and John Ruter present a variety of conifers that grow from Virginia to Florida to Texas. They provide tips on growing, pruning, preventing disease and pest problems, and on proper selection and cultivation requirements—all unique to the Southeast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn short, this guide includes essential information about \u003cem\u003ewhat\u003c\/em\u003e to buy, \u003cem\u003ewhere\u003c\/em\u003e to plant it, and \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c\/em\u003e to maintain it.
