Broadleaved Shrubs and Shade Trees: Problems, Picture Clues, and Management Options
After observing the problem in a shrub and shade tree, the reader will then follow the guide’s easy-to-use, photo-based problem key to zero in on the cause. Management strategies are suggested for most problems. The guide will be an invaluable resource for home and master gardeners, students, educators, and horticultural consultants. It will also be a useful addition to garden-center bookshelves and landscape-oriented mail-order catalogs.
Features of the guide include:
• Pictures and descriptions of over 125 abiotic problems, diseases, insects, and more.
• 430+ color photos
• 200+ pages
• Introductory chapter on diagnostics and nonchemical management strategies
• Photo-based key to symptoms and possible causes

Note from Lori:
I will order 50 copies in bulk and resell individual copies to counties for about $25 each. I assume most counties would just want 1 copy so if you think you might like multiple copies tell me as then I might order more to start.
