Within it, Woodward takes a detailed look at the various trees that could be found at the Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, Gloucestershire, England in the early 20th century. With wonderful descriptions, historical information, and authentic photographs, this guide to one of England’s most important and famous arboretums is not to be missed by naturalists and gardeners with an interest in the trees of the British Isles.
