Testimonials for Scott Zanon's book: Desirable Trees For The Midwest, 50 for the Home Landscape and Larger Properties.
“Trees are a beautiful and natural part of North American golf courses and landscapes, but in most cases they have either been taken for granted or neglected. We have not had good information sources to refer to and rely on for selecting and caring for golf course trees. Until now that is. The result is a book that doesn’t just look good on the book shelf; it also should become a well used source of information to improve the health and beneficial qualities of trees on golf courses and in the home landscape.”

“This reference contains excellent information that will provide guidance for selecting the correct tree(s) for Midwest landscapes. It will be a valuable resource for the homeowner as well as the green industry professional.”

“Scott’s book serves as an excellent guide for professional landscapers, golf course superintendents, and the home gardener. We often make poor decisions of planting trees based on our limited knowledge. This publication will help us all make better decisions to select the right tree for the right place in the landscape. There is a science to help in the selection of the proper tree, as well as the art form to beautify your property. This book blends both the science and the art form.”

“Zanon’s book is a very practical guide for the gardener as one begins to review the many choices available to them when selecting a tree for their site. Deciding what attributes are most critical in the realm of options from this book can make the selection process so much easier. Details of each of the 50 trees are outlined in a very clear and concise format supplying the reader with valuable information about each trees culture and the cultivars worthy of consideration. The author’s notes and plant usage guides are exceptional as all aspects of the tree are considered. A must have resource for all avid gardeners.”
