Packed with over 2000 color photos, this Field Guide identifies 411 shrubs and vines (33 native species and 378 introduced species and cultivars), and has captions with additional identification information.

Written by Rod "The Tree Hunter" Haulenbeek, this book represents two decades of observation and research on Northern Nevada shrubs and vines.
