Customer Reviews

Somewhat Interesting But Not Very Practical2
There are about five pages worth of useful info in this book. The rest is a bunch of history that may or may not be interesting to you. "Citrus" by Walheim was more on target for my purpose of selecting, planting and caring for an eight tree home grove.

ONLY for those interested in history and growing5
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.
