Contains over one hundred pages of easy-to-use tree and shrub pest tables; invaluable in helping you identify common pest problems now on over 200 types of ornamental trees and shrubs.

From Library Journal

Compiled by scientists at the University of California's Statewide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Project, this guide is aimed at homeowners and gardeners as well as landscape and pest management professionals. There are chapters on insects, mites, snails, and slugs; diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses; weeds; nematodes; and abiotic disorders. Numerous color photographs help identify symptoms and pests. The nearly 50 pages of tree and pest tables make this guide immediately useful; trees and other woody plants are listed alphabetically by their common names along with symptoms and probable causes of disease. This publication is not just for Californians since most of the trees and shrubs discussed are grown throughout the United States. Readers looking for information on a wide range of garden and household pests should turn to works like Michael Hansen's Pest Control for Home and Garden (LJ 3/15/93) or William Olkowski and others' Common-Sense Pest Control (LJ 5/1/91), but Dreistadt offers considerably more detailed information on common woody plant pests. A sound choice for horticulture and pest management collections.
