Green expert Martin Hermy often saw it happen: trees, sometimes barely fully grown, were cut down because they did not meet the wishes of the garden owner or the neighbors. He channeled his annoyance in a new book, ‘The right tree for your garden’. You will become acquainted with more than 570 tree species that can grow perfectly in our regions: from mini trees to columnar trees, from evergreen to drought-tolerant trees, from trees with striking flowers, autumn colors or bark to trees with edible fruits and for dessert, a real curiosity cabinet. Hermy translates scientific knowledge into practical tips and bite-sized information. For example, you learn why you should plant trees, how you plant, what support they need, what soil they require, what life is underground, or why certain trees are better adapted to climate change. There is little room for planting new forests, but there is room for millions of trees in gardens. What are we waiting for? The many figures, tables and photos and the extensive index make this book a true standard work. Martin Hermy is an emeritus professor at KU Leuven where he taught green management, nature management and ecology for 25 years. He is a passionate garden lover. IN DUTCH!
