"A valuable resource for both student and practitioner. The text
and photos are clear, concise, and informative. A valuable addition
to any library, the general public as well."--Kenneth S. Nakaba,
FASLA, Professor, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
"This is the treed landscape knowledge source, and the design and
management tool we have all been hoping to see for decades.
Bridging horticulture and design, it spans without judgment native
specifics, introduced "near-native," and "not-so-near-native"
trees. It provides the much asked-for design settings as well as
the species characteristics in all their delight and imagery. This
exhaustive treatise on California trees even sets the context for
the big issues of climate, geomorphic, topographic and hydrologic
effects, and how we design with trees so as to be true partners in
the best future for California."--Joe Brown, Principal, EDAW, Inc.
"I find the concept for Chuck's book quite exciting and envision it
will be used both by those involved with urban landscapes as well
as those involved with restoration of native habitats. It is a
well-researched compendium that will aid anyone who is interested
in trees and their use in a wide variety of situations. The
photographs in the book are an excellent aid in tree
identifications and the single volume will reduce the need carry
around multiple references for identification of both native as
well as non-native trees. It is my hope that Chuck's book will
stimulate greater use of California's drought tolerant native trees
in landscape plantings because of their reduced water requirements
and ecological compatibility with other native plants and
animals."--Monty Knudsen, Assistant Project Leader, USDI Fish &
Wildlife Service
""Trees of the California Landscape" is a masterful combination of
those native and non-Californian species that have importance in
wildlands or the designed landscape or both. Each of the 468-plus
pages is devoted to a single species, with photographs of the tree,
the bark, and leafy branches accompanied by an amazingly efficient
text that summarizes the natural distribution, key identification
traits, tree architecture, longevity, and suitable habitats for
planting, all in a very readable style. Charles Hatch has created
an excellent reference for forest ecologists, landscape designers,
horticulturalists, and restoration specialists--not only in
California, but throughout the United States."--Michael G. Barbour,
Professor of Plant Ecology, University of California, Davis
"This richly illustrated book provides a much needed resource for
students, educators and practitioners."--Margarita M. Hill, Head,
Landscape Architecture Department, California Polytechnic State
University, San Luis Obispo
