Washington, D.C., boasts more than three hundred species of trees from America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, and City of Trees has been the authoritative guide for locating, identifying, and learning about them for more than twenty-five years. The third edition is fully revised, updated, and expanded and includes an eloquent new foreword by the Washington Post's garden editor, Adrian Higgins.

In the introduction, Choukas-Bradley describes the efforts of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other prominent Washingtonians who helped the nation's capital evolve into the "City of Trees," a moniker regaining popularity thanks to present-day efforts encouraging citizen participation in tree planting and maintenance.

Part 1 gives the reader a guided tour of the nation's capital, highlighting historic and rare trees of the urban canopy. Part 2 is a comprehensive, simply worded, and fully illustrated botanical guide to the magnificent trees of the nation's capital and surroundings. The guide also includes botanical keys, an illustrated glossary, exquisite pen-and-ink drawings by Polly Alexander, and color close-up photographs of flowering trees, many by the nationally acclaimed photographer Susan A. Roth.

What to look for in the new edition:

* Added locations: the FDR Memorial; the Smithsonian Institution gardens; the Tudor Place grounds; the Bishop's Garden of the Washington National Cathedral; Audubon Naturalist Society sanctuaries; and much more.

* "City of Trees" history from 1987 to 2007, including the establishment of Casey Trees and the importance of the urban canopy in the twenty-first century.

* Twice as many pages of color photographs, new species descriptions and illustrations, and added habitat information.

Great option for sink organization!
Color: Black, Size: Large
This has been a great organizer! Everything stays neat and in reach. It drains into the sink so no mess on the back of the sink or countertop. We have bought this for my daughters work and her apartment as well.

The quality feels solid and well made!
Color: A-silver
We received this sink caddy as a Christmas gift, and it’s been a great addition to our kitchen. It looks very nice with our stainless steel sink and helps keep everything organized in one place instead of scattered along the back of the sink. Everything looks much neater now. The suction cups seem to be holding very well so far. The quality feels solid and well made—stainless steel, sturdy wire construction, and not flimsy at all. Overall, it’s a practical, good-looking organizer that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. A good buy for the price, and I think it will hold up well over time.
