4.0 out of 5 stars A very worthwhile starter book for azaleas and camellias., July 19, 2001

William L. Gilstrap - See all my reviews

This review is from: Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Camellias (Paperback)

Thanks to this book, I have been able to grow many azaleas and some camellias, and they grow better than most others here. This book showed me the correct way to prune azaleas and when to do it. Because of this method, my azaleas filled out to large mounds that look like big drifts of color when they bloom. I had never grown azaleas or camellias before reading this book. I highly recommend it as a starter book for this subject. As mentioned in an earlier review, coffee grounds are an excellent fertilizer and a good addition to a compost bin.

4.0 out of 5 stars good intro guide, June 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Camellias (Paperback)

I like this book as an intro to rhodie, etc. It has some good growing tips and good info about pests/disease. I do wish it showed a photo of each variety, instead of selected varieties. I also wish it talked about free/inexpensive fertalizer (coffee grounds) and the like. It's a great starter book on the subject of rhodies.
