Best Crabapple Reference Ever Seen,
By
This review is from: Flowering Crabapples: The Genus Malus (Hardcover)
If you love beautiful Spring color and have lots of room to try lots of flowering trees this book is a must. From a Horticultural point of view I have never seen anything like it. It provides brilliant photos and great detailed information on more Crabapple varieties than I ever knew were out there. In making selections for our campus properties I use Fr. Fiala's disease notations and make marginal references in my wholesale tree catalogues to improve our selection for climate adaptability as well as disease resistance. If you live in colder areas of the country and deal much with plant specification for 'park type' landscape this book is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative,
By Rune Kyrdalen (Aas Norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flowering Crabapples: The Genus Malus (Hardcover)
This book sorts out the very confusing nomenclature of crabapples and explains all there is to know about the origin of the noumerus cultivars (among other things). It is an outstanding refrence for anyone with an interest in crabapples. The only thing I was a bit disapointed with is that it doesn't have much information regarding hardyness. I really recomend this book for anyone with an interest in crabapples.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Nicely done work on the crabapples,
By Ex-Pat Limey (Gainesville, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flowering Crabapples: The Genus Malus (Hardcover)
Narrows down to the crabapple, and does a nice job of it. Found it very readable for a deep look intothis fruit. For a wider view might suggest Story of the Apple (Juniper).
