Over 1,100 species and their propagation requirements by seeds, cuttings, grafting and budding, and tissue culture are discussed in exhaustive detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Dirr is the Absolute Expert in Plant Propagation, September 2, 2000
By John G. Szabo (Kenner, LA United States) - See all my reviews
Dirr has done all the research and you reap all the rewards. His conclusions are backed up by many scientific studies by various individuals and groups. The first part gives a summary of the diferent propagation methods and the second part has very detailed data on specific species. I save hundreds of dollars each year by propagating by own southern magnolias, red tip photinas, and navel oranges. This is, by far, the best book on propagation out there!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The authority on woody plant propagation, December 15, 1998
By "lord_thor" (Fayetteville, AR) - See all my reviews
This book is considered an industry standard by most. Nothing else published contains as much information about woody plant propagation. A must buy reference for any plant propagator.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book out there., October 24, 1999
This is by far the best book out there on this subject. I have bought all the books on this subject and none can compare to this one. If you only want to buy one book on this subject this is the one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Prefer the old format.
Of course, the information in this book is without peer, but the change to a new, less attractive and less concise format takes away from its usefulness.
