5.0 out of 5 stars If you want Citrus and more exotic fruit, you need it, December 12, 1998
By A Customer
A good summary on a variety of citrus and subtropical fruit. Most interesting varieties are indicated. There are informations about cold tolerance, fertilizing, propagating your plants, a lot of pictures. It is also a very inexpensive book, a great value.

1.0 out of 5 stars Way too vague, December 1, 2002
By JSL (Coral Gables, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
If you want to know how to take care of your tropical fruit you won't learn it here! If you want to see pictures of citrus fruit, that you will see. I have pineapple plants along with banana, mango, orange, key lime, tangerine, and papaya trees. This book was worthless to me. I already know what they look like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good overview, December 20, 2002
By A Customer
This book provides a very helpful overview of subtropical fruits. I was interested in finding good fruits to plant that are hard to obtain in stores and do well in my climate. By perusing this book multiple times over the course of several months, I was able to begin to get a feel for what would be good candidates. I have since planted several of them, am enjoying good fruit, and still like glancing through this book in a free moment...
