Can anyone recommend a good website/book that gives a quick breakdown of
native tree characteristics in southern ontario, such as height, spread,
bloom time, moisture/light/soil requirements, etc.?  I'm finding it
difficult to locate this information all in one place, in list format,
that's canadian (I find the university of texas' plant database fantastic,
but don't know if I should expect the same growth habits here
http://www.wildflower.org/plants/). And I find that my tried and true
field ID guides, such as Trees in Canada, do not provide adequate planting
information.

Thanks for your help with this,
