Is there a good book?

21 years ago

I am looking for a book with good information on how to take care of JM and photos of the full JM trees.

I have heard of J.D. Vertrees 3rd Edition and how good it was. I went to the bookstore to take a look at it before I purchased it. It was 49.99 dollars! Close up photos of the leaves only. There weren't that many care of JM information in that book. Sometimes I want to see a photo of the whole tree before I consider buying. J.D. Vertrees wasn't really helpful! I was disappointed...

For probably all of the more common varieties, it is easy to do a Google image search and it's free! Most of the better mail order firms like Mountain Maples will have a photo of the variety at their website.

Nothing beats going to botantical gardens/ other collector's collections/ growers or nurseries.
