Delightful and entertaining. ... Acts as a basic introduction to varieties of citrus as well as a historical overview, before turning to the practical matters of soil composition, nutrition, pests, and diseases. -- Lisa Ennis Library Journal 20090301 Complete with mouth-watering illustrations throughout, the author displays the diversity of citrus that can be achieved if appropriate conditions are provided. -- Mark Poswillo Gardens Illustrated 20090401 At long last, we have a citrus book more focused on container culture in sunrooms, windowsills and greenhouses than outdoors in the ground. -- Paula Szilard Hobby Greenhouse 20090701
Product Description
The unique foliage, aromatic flowers, and dramatic colors of citrus add an exotic touch to the garden, terrace, deck, or balcony. The delicious and nutritious fruits they harvest are a draw to an ever-increasing number of people interested in growing their own food. Martin Page charts the introduction of citrus to the western world, celebrates their unique flavors and diverse uses, and recommends the best varieties for garden cultivation. The detailed cultivation advice describes how to grow the trees in all climates, includes tips on overwintering, and shows how to tend to trees in pots, small gardens, and greenhouses. It includes oranges, lemons, limes, tangerines, clementines, and many more. "Growing Citrus" is the definitive guide to growing the world's most important fruit crops and will inspire the enthusiastic home gardener to grow their own.

Format:Hardcover
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.

Format:Hardcover
Having emigrated to Portugal and found myself with 6 citrus trees, this book has provided me with the information I need to make sure I care for them in a non patronising, enthusiastic way. The illustrations are great too.
