Native Trees And Shrubs Of South Eastern Australia is a richly illustrated guide that showcases the diverse flora of the region, offering clear descriptions and vivid artwork for both young adults and seasoned gardeners. The book covers identification, habitat, and cultivation tips, making it a practical resource for anyone interested in Australian botany.
Written by Leon Costermans and published by New Holland in 2007, this 424‑page paperback combines scientific insight with accessible language, positioning it within the environment, nature, and gardening genres. Costermans’ expertise shines through in the detailed profiles of trees, shrubs, and their ecological roles.
The volume is in good condition, having lived in a smoke‑free home with a tight binding and laminated cover. A small bump on the corner of the first ten pages is the only noticeable wear, and the front inner cover bears a personal sticker under the lamination; the front paper is inscribed, though not signed by the author. There are no tears, highlights, or stuck pages.
Collectors and nature lovers will find this title a valuable addition to a library of Australian flora, offering both visual appeal and reliable information for study or garden planning.
