Product Information
The stunning Betula , or birch trees, are notoriously difficult to identify despite being one of the major contributors to the beautiful fall foliage famous in eastern North America. With many wrongly named birches appearing in nurseries and arboreta, this new book, the first ever written on the genus, is an important and much-needed work. The Genus Betula covers all known birches found in North America, Europe, and Asia, along with keys for accurate identification. Chapters include a look at the breeding, cultivation, conservation, and morphology of all species, including several little-known species wonderful for garden and landscape use. The authors present previously unpublished data on recent molecular work and fossils, providing a cytotaxonomic and phylogeographic revision of the Betula genus. The book is accompanied by exquisite specimens of botanical art, including full-color paintings by Josephine Hague, making it a valuable tool for arboriculturists as well as professional and amateur gardeners.

'Long-awaited'. . .much-needed as a contemporary review of the whole genus Betula, from both botanical and horticultural perspectives.|9781842461419|, This detailed account is accessible, aimed not only at scholars and students, but those intellectually curious about these important woody plants., On first opening this book I thought I would have a quick flick through to get a feel of it, before I read it. But I found myself stopping and reading parts, getting engrossed and wanting to read some more. . . . With decades of research behind it, taken from herbarium specimens, material from wild trees and arboreta collections, this is a book brimming with information and science-based facts., 'Long-awaited' is an apt expression for this book, which has not only been long-delayed, but much-needed as a contemporary review of the whole genus Betula, from both botanical and horticultural perspectives. Curtis's Botanical Magazine Monographs, published by Kew, are a series of authoritative monographs, which continue the tradition of the oldest scientific journal in the world, blending botanical accuracy with horticultural information and fine illustration. The Genus Betula is no exception, filled with many photographs, as well as paintings by Josephine Hague and line drawings by Andrew Brown. The authors, Kenneth Ashburner and Hugh McAllister, worked together on Genus Betula for many years before Kenneth's death in 2010, after which Hugh completed the book. However, it is still very much a joint production bringing together decades' worth of birch study in many remote places. One of the results of this is the arboretum at Stone Lane Gardens, Ashburner's former home in Devon, where groves of birch saplings from the same collection were planted together. This gives a unique opportunity to study natural variation. The diversity of Betula is perhaps surprising. Occuring throughout the cooler parts of the northern hemisphere, 45 species are recognised here; a mixture of familiar trees and shrubby species. Although often attractive in the wild, with nice autumn colour, most of the small species are of 'botanical interest only', seldom performing well in gardens. Of the taller trees, it is clear there are many possibilities for bringing new characters to the garden, such as with the Vietnamese B. insignis var. fansipanensis with purple-flushed new growth, and for selecting superior cultivars. This book will also remind gardeners of the existence of the species that are seldom planted, such as the B. grossa, for which there are no current suppliers in the UK. In these times when tree diseases are prevalent we need as much diversity as possible. Although The Genus Betula is mainly a botanical book that discusses birches from a taxonomic and biological view, for the horticulturist there is a chapter on cultivation, reminding us of their shallow-rooted nature and the desirability of planting birches young. Each species has a note on its merits or demerits in cultivation. A chapter on birch cultivars by Paul Bartlett, who runs Stone Lane Gardens, is useful but a fuller description of each would have been welcome, and they are not illustrated, which is a pity. However, this is still a very useful book and will be a standard reference for years to come., On first opening this book I thought I would have a quick flick through to get a feel of it, before I read it. But I found myself stopping and reading parts, getting engrossed and wanting to read some more. . . . With decades of research behind it, taken from herbarium specimens, material from wild trees and arboreta collections, this is a book brimming with information and science-based facts.
