[.uk] Tree and Shrub Gardening for Northern Calif (ISBN 155105275X)

Book Description:
Nurseryman Bob Tanem and garden writer Don Williamson team up for another great gardening book for Northern California. Learn all about selecting, planting and caring for trees and shrubs that will thrive in your yard.

Excellent reference for northern california:
After reading so many books written by east coast authors and/or too general to be helpful, I was pleased to come across these books (there are a few - just look up the author to see all of them). As the title says, they are all very specific to northern california. They devote 2-4 pages to each tree or shrub and talk about which specific varieties they recommend most for our area, and why. And they do point out that while a certain tree may be good for the coast, it will die a quick death come a sacramento summer.
