Trees of Napa Valley

Trees Of Napa Valley
by John E. Hoffman, University of California Cooperative Extension & UC Master Gardeners of Napa County

This is a collection of stories about some of the finest trees in the Valley. John Hoffman was a professional arborist with a genuine gift for story telling. His lifetime of experience in the Napa Valley is reflected in these personal essays about the trees he loved. Many old heritage trees are discussed, as well as those appropriate for growing in our Mediterranean climate. The book's text is complemented by botanical illustrations of the trees and their specific details, along with maps and location indicators.

The author's goal was to share information about the trees he admired, and those appropriate to our Napa Valley landscapes. He hoped to promote an appreciation of trees and their many contributions and benefits to our surroundings. Trees are an integral part of our heritage and our daily life. In Napa County we have trees of exceptional size, age, beauty, rarity, and historical interest. Trees of Napa Valley will be a delightful source of history and a good companion on your forays throughout this beautiful valley. Available at the UCCE office for $10.00, see address above.
