Book Description
The Caribbean is almost without equal when it comes to the diversity of its garden plants and trees. More comprehensive than any previous publication, this book covers far more than just the plants and their cultivation. It discusses climate, soils, drainage and irrigation; feeding, pruning and propagation. A chapter on landscaping introduces the basics of garden design and shows what to grow where. The section on Plant Competitors focuses on pest, disease and weed control in a tropical context.
The book fills a major gap in horticultural literature and will appeal to gardeners of all levels in the Caribbean and, indeed, all tropical climates.
