Growing Citrus: The Essential Gardeners Guide
An excellent book which leads you through the history of citrus growing to practical growing tips suitable for all levels of grower. From an orangery owner to pot grown outdoor plants.
A very useful edition to the fruit growers library.
Growing Citrus - good book
An excellent book for those who want to prevent their expensive citrus plants from dying (as several of mine have.) Clear descriptions of optimum growing conditions and problem resolution. If I had the knowledge to write a book on citrus care this is how I would present it.
