Customer Reviews

Good combination of pictures and cultural info.

Great book covering a broad range of palms, trees, shrubs, flowers, vines, etc. Includes photographs on each plant covered, along with cultural info. like how much cold they can handle, where they come from, ultimate size, best way to use in the landscape, and leaf, fruit, & flower descriptions. I use this regularly when trying to decide what to put where, in the landscape.

Florida, My Eden

Great book for the southern parts of Florida. It was hightly recommended by our Plant Nursery. Fairly good pictures but great discriptions of plants, trees, shurbs etc.

Book saves gardener from many planting errors!

As a newcomer to Florida I knew nothing about local horticulture. This book was a tremendous aid in my education. It gives straightforward information about many plants, trees and shrubs including growth habits, size, best locations and culture. The book is well organized and the info is easy to access.

As a member of green industry, a great reference book !

Full of pictures and discriptions, a necessary book for anyone interested in plants and trees in Florida.
