Description: An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palmsby Robert Lee Riffle and Paul CraftPublished by Timber Press Incorporated, Portland, Oregon. USA, 2004. Very good hardcover, in very good dustjacket in archival mylar wrapper. Tight binding, solid spine, dosing to edges and endpapers, clean unmarked text. Illustrated, 4to, index, 528 pages. AHS Book Award Winner - An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms offers a definitive account of palms that may be grown in the garden and landscape. Because palms are often underutilized as a result of their unfamiliarity — even to tropical gardeners — Robert Lee Riffle and Paul Craft have exhaustively documented every genus in the palm family. Approximately 890 species are described in detail, including cold hardiness, water needs, height, and any special requirements. Generously illustrated with more than 900 photos, this volume is as valuable as an identification guide as it is a practical handbook. It even contains photos of several palm species that have never before appeared in a general encyclopedia. Interesting snippets of history, ethnobotany, and biology inform the text and make this a lively catalog of these remarkable plants.Loc: GL1-1StoreAdd to FavoritesFeedbackPALM TREES TROPICAL CULTIVATED PALMS AHS AWARD WINNER LANDSCAPE GARDENS GUIDE HC An Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palmsby Robert Lee Riffle and Paul CraftPublished by Timber Press Incorporated, Portland, Oregon.
