Growing Hawaii's Native Plants,
By volcanokid (Big Island of Hawai'i) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Growing Hawaii's Native Plants: A Simple Step-by-Step Approach for Every Species (Paperback)
Great book. It gives the common name, the latin name and the Hawaiian name of plants we find here in Hawai'i. 416 pages chock full of easy to read and apply methods of growing Hawaiian plants. Lavishly illustrated, generous size of 9 by 11 inches, this is a must have for growers, artists and students of Hawaiian plants. This is the best $45 I have spent on books in a long time. Thanks to the author and publisher.

Superb book,
By No Pilikia (Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Growing Hawaii's Native Plants: A Simple Step-by-Step Approach for Every Species (Paperback)
One of the best horticultural books I've seen (and I own too many!).
Lots of information, not only on the plants but also on propagation and diseases. Superbly organized and well indexed. If you live on Hawaii and have a yard this book is a must.
