I was a little surprised to see this book when it arrived. For $12.00, I got a small, "checkout-isle" book. I can't question the value of the information, however the book was created on an ink-jet printer, has several grammatical errors, and has an overall "self-published at Kinko's" feel.

I found it written in a very straightforward way, which is good. It tries to be a bigger book than it is, and seems to have a lot of word-filler and awkward, unnecessary formatting.

It's a handy book, but is a little over-priced for what it is. It wouldn't be as well received as a gift because of the overall poor production quality. It wasn't the best value, but I've done much worse.

I was genuinely surprised to open this book and find the answer to every question I had about the forest of ficus that I have to care for daily. I put the suggestions into practice and the trees stopped shedding leaves and are now beginning to grow strongly. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who needs help with these tempermental but beautiful trees.

I went on the web looking for help with my weeping fig tree. I read the other reviews for this book and decided to try it (I've tried everything else!). I wasn't disappointed - it has dozens of interesting facts about fig trees, and I now use it as my 'bible' to help me. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who loves these beautiful plants and is tired of falling leaves and 'finicky' behaviour.

This booklet is a common sense book and contained nothing that I did not already know. The "problem" I am having with my ficus, is not even discussed. I'm not sure what it is, I have small growths on the trunks and bark of one of my ficus trees. This was not talked about. Watering and lighting is a joke! I had one ficus near a window and according to this book the tree was supposed to adapt to it's new home. My ficus dropped every leaf it had. I purchased this book with the hope that I could find out what was wrong with my tree; wasted money.
