Bob Fincham, a founding member and the first President of the American Conifer Society, has been actively involved with every aspect of the conifer world since 1974. Here he writes about the shapely world of conifers. There are fastigiate conifers as well as weeping forms. There are also cones, globes, and pyramids in the conifer sphere. Conifers come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, and this book explores that world and even tries to explain how some of those shapes originated. Throughout the series of five books that Bob has written about conifers, he has focused on conifers that are available in North America. He has avoided doing any of the selections that are only available in other countries. Some will require searching and may only be available from specialty nurseries. Enter Bob’s world through the pages of this, his fifth book on conifers and their cultivars.
