This exciting new tree selection guide marks a step change in approach that will lead to successful outcomes for trees and a better environment for future generations. Gardens and green spaces are good for the health of humans and the wider environment and trees play a vital role in this. In the past, trees have been selected primarily for their ornamental value but these essential life-giving plants have the potential to deliver a vast array of ecosystem benefits, but only if we plant the right tree in the right place. To combat the damaging effects of climate change we need mature trees and species diversity, which means careful selection for site and function. International tree expert Henrik Sjöman along with garden designer and passionate advocate for the environment Arit Anderson identified the need for a new kind of selection guide that focuses on the hidden benefits of trees and dedicated themselves to this visionary new resource. Easily accessible text, backed by the latest scientific research, describes the multiple benefits mature trees bring to towns and cities including storing carbon, slowing down rainfall and cooling buildings. We learn that some trees excel at particular functions and how to select trees for specific conditions such as droughts and storms. The A-Z is a unique selection of more than 500 trees chosen for their resilience and a range of other criteria that will ensure their contribution to our future gardens and landscapes. A quick-reference Tree Selection Table completes the resource and will spark the tree selection process.

Denne bog rummer historien om den spændende kvædefrugt samt en lang række opskrifter.Kvæde har en kraftig, sød-krydret frugtsmag, der er helt sin egen og svær at beskrive med ord. Kvæder skal duftes og smages. De er også syrlige og har et højt indhold af C-vitamin. Kvæder er meget velegnede til gelé, marmelade osv. på grund af det naturlige, høje pektin-indhold. Men kvæder er også fantastiske i det salte køkken med deres pikante smag, der giver lidt ekstra til en ret.Man kan blive meget fascineret af kvæder - både af frugterne og af træerne med deres kønne blomster. Nyplukkede frugter er smukke, men på vores breddegrader hårde som sten, men de gemmer på en hemmelighed: Først når kvæderne er tilberedt, kommer den enestående smag frem.De sunde indholdsstoffer er en væsentlig årsag til, at kvæder var så populære tidligere, inden den moderne medicin kom på banen.Forfatterne Nielsen & Nielsen alias Jytte Nielsen og Inger Vaaben har tidligere skrevet bogen Mynte.
