Ron Lance is the nursery curator at Chimney Rock Park in North Carolina. His previous books include Hawthorns and Medlars, Woody Plants of the Blue Ridge, and Hawthorns of the Southeastern United States. Lance has worked for more than twenty-five years in the fields of botany, zoology, and horticulture in such roles as instructor, specimen collector, field technician, researcher, and manager of horticultural facilities.
There are so many 'tree books' but Lance's volume is extraordinary--so many taxa, excellent illustrations, good keys, and useful comments from someone obviously with deep first-hand experience. It's hard to imagine how it could be improved, much less approached by a competing facsimile. It's a classic and surely will be in use for a long time--Guy Nesom "Sida"
