Up By Roots is the most comprehensive book written for landscape architects on the subject of soils and trees in built environment. It will become the desk reference for the profession when they include trees in their designs. The scientific knowledge of trees and soils is distilled to the most essential information and incorporated into peer-reviewed recommendations from initial soil analysis and design phases through the installation phase.
