Outstanding photography with easy to read descriptions.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flowering Trees of Florida (Paperback)
This book is an excellent reference book for Florida trees. The photography is absolutely beautiful. It allows the reader to easily identify a tree and then read about it as a layman or a more advanced horticulturist.I believe it is a must buy for newcomers to Florida as well as anyone interested in flowering trees in the south. A must for your Florida flora collection.

Beautiful photos!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flowering Trees of Florida (Paperback)
Planning on a move to Florida from Michigan, I was lost as to what kind of trees to landscape my large yard with. This book is wonderful! Especially helpful are the clear, color photos of both the flowers close-up, and then the entire tree in its flowered state. These pictures show the trees "shape" when full grown also. I'm so glad I got this, it will definitely help with my decisions on what trees to buy!!

Introduction to flowering trees for the tropics,
By
This review is from: Flowering Trees of Florida (Paperback)
This is really neat little book, well-printed and with top quality color pictures. The pictures are supported by brief and informative texts. The book gives a good overview of trees that blossom profusely with showy flowers and that are suitable for planting in the tropics. Beyond an emphasis on (C-& S-) American species and the use of Florida common names there is nothing in the book that ties it to Florida in particular.
