4 out of 5 stars for citrus growers.......2007-01-27

a very useful and short guide for citrus amateurs growers. Very imortant and good information about citrus USDA zones and many citrus varietes carefully described. I think there is a essentail book for amateur citrus growers in temperate zones (atlantic europe coast)

4 out of 5 stars Nice Guide for the Novice.......2007-01-10

The nursery where I bought my citrus tress recommended this book. I think it provides a very comprehensive coverage of growing citrus in AZ. This is a must for your reference library.

3 out of 5 stars Great pictures, but could have been better.......2004-07-18

The book is attractive and does contain a lot of information about different citrus varieties. My main criticism is that the Planting and Care section could have been much more substantial. Specifically, since the descriptions of various citrus ailments (poor nutrition, inappropriate watering, infection with pests) are not accompanied by photos of the symptoms, it makes it harder for the reader to figure out what these problems might actually look like. The black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings of pests are somewhat informative, but they're very limited compared to what might be conveyed by a photo.

Also, a few diagrams to help illustrate "good pruning" would have been great.

I'm not suggesting that this book should have been a definitive technical treatise on citrus, but I think it would have been more useful if more attention had been paid to what goes wrong when you're trying to grow citrus.

5 out of 5 stars subtropical fruit for third world country's information.......2001-12-20

This book has informatiom for the professional as well as the village farmer in Africa , its teachings are simple and clear for all those interested in the subject to follow , the illustrations and instructions are simple even for those with a basic knowledge of subtropical fruit growing. Africa is not covered in the distribution map never the less the fruits are for example the mango tree is synonymous with Africa , it gives food, and shelter from the elements and fuel what more can you want from a tree. Every African school would benefit from a book like this , and i know one that will.

5 out of 5 stars Great citrus guide with wonderful pix/info.......2001-10-10

I have read several other books on citrus cultivation, but this book is by far the best i've run across. It has excellent photographs of the hundreds of citrus fruits, both on the tree and of the inside of the fruit itself. It has some great citrus recipes, but it mainly focuses on the cultivation and care of each variety. This book tells the grower what he/she can exactly expect to see, and how to best care for your tree. If there is ANYTHING this book lacks, it is more info on out-of-zone citrus gardening. For example, i live in NC and i have phenomenal success with all my trees in containers (i winter them in a "cheap" plastic greenhouse). That is my only criticism of this book---otherwise, all cultivar info is detailed and well illustrated!!!!

5 out of 5 stars ONLY for those interested in history and growing.......2004-04-23

Not an easy read unless you are interested in horticulture. The book really has many parts to it; the most important for me was the history of Florida citrus (very interesting), discussion of different varieties and hybrid varieties and their origins, and precise tips on growing good citrus (given the right climate).

If you're not a green thumb, doing a project on citrus, or brought a tree home from Florida and want to know more than you could ever want to know about what you brought back then don't get this book. If you fall into any of the above categories, an excellent book for it's purpose; which is not to entertain the avid reader after finishing off the NY Times best seller list and Oprah's picks.
