This book aims to assist in the management of soil salinity by describing a range of species tolerant of saline soils. 60 species are listed with descriptions containing botanical features, growth characteristics, preferred soils, climates and more.

The introductory sections of this book provide general information on issues such as how trees deal with saline soil, their susceptibility to insect pests, where to plant trees and how best to establish them. The main section provides detailed descriptions of 30 species for use on salt-affected land.

"The top 30 trees are excellently described...great for landowners confronted with the decision of what trees to plant."
