4.0 out of 5 stars
A comprehensive book for the advanced hobby gardener,
This review is from: Camellias: The Complete Guide to Their Cultivation and Use (Hardcover)
This book gives a good overview for a hobby gardener who wants to know more about Camellias. Trehane deals in the first chapters with the history of Camellias and their "botanical context" and provides on about 50 pages everything a non-specialist needs to know. The next chapter, about as long, summarizes all necessary information regarding cultivation. Further sections are the use of Camellias in the garden, 3 pages with hintes how to exhibit Camellias, 13 pages about pests and diseases. Finally Trehane introduces a selection of popular Camellias (35 pages). The book concludes with some useful addresses. This book is not an encyclopedia with rich illustrations, but it is helpful and useful for a gardener who tries to learn more about Camellias and to grow them successfully.
