Realisation
It goes without saying that Van den Berk is proud of this book. Its realisation has taken more than two years. Illustrations showing trees in streets, landscapes and nurseries have been collected from various corners of the world.
Dendrologists have pondered over the correct description of leaf indentations, flower forms and angles of branches. The Van den Berk staff themselves have put down on paper their own knowledge of and experiences with trees. This has been distilled down into specialised, brief, clear and practical texts.  Once the dendrologists and specialised editors had checked the text it was the turn of the designers and printers to go to work.
