Don't get me started!,
By "baferr04" (Corvallis, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Woody Plant Propagation for Nursery Growers (Hardcover)
I have always been interested in horticulture and gardening. However this is the book the peaked my interest in arborculture above all else! The possibilities here are dizzying.. While the book is comprehensive as a text the layman can jump right in to what most interests them without much prior knowledge. The pictures are very enlightening while the greenhouse techniques are practical even for partime nurserymen, gardeners, or hobbiest.

This review is from: Practical Woody Plant Propagation for Nursery Growers (Hardcover)
An excellent and thorough review of propagation techniques by species. Covers a wide range of tree types and the best method to propagate. Would love an update with southern hemisphere data where appropriate.
