Review
The peregrinations of the nurserymen, explorers, and philanthropists responsible for these exquisite florilegiums, not to mention the garden plants we now take for granted, have been superbly documented in A Reunion of Trees. (Linda Yang New York Times Book Review)
Spongberg has written a grand adventure story about the migration of woody plants around the world...This tale of the traveling trees is a treasure for both specialist and amateur. (Ruth Johnstone Wales Christian Science Monitor)
Charming [and] handsomely illustrated...attractive...well-researched, and written with warmth and verve. (Ray Murphy Boston Globe)
Spongberg gives us a lively account of trees and shrubs and the colorful characters who escorted them from distant, frequently dangerous, places to the gardens of Europe and North America...[This] book brings a panoramic perspective to these explorations in one copiously illustrated and authoritative volume. (Christopher Reed Horticulture)
