Распознавание деревьев и кустарников в самый ранний период их самостоятельного существования - в виде всходов из проросших семян - имеет большое практическое значение.
Это важно прежде всего при производстве лесобиологических и лесохозяйственных обследований в целях установления возможности естественного возобновления древесно-кустарниковых пород и определения характера и интенсивности этого процесса.
Не менее существенным является определение видов деревьев и кустарников по всходам и при работах в лесных и садово-парковых питомниках для выяснения грунтовой всхожести семян и корректирования норм их высева.

This lushly illustrated survey of 133 of the most commonly grown plants explains where each plant came from and the journey it took into home gardens. Kingsbury tells intriguing tales of the most important plant hunters, breeders, and gardeners throughout history, and explores the unexpected ways plants have been used.
