The Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms (second edition)

825 species are described in detail, including cold hardiness, water needs, height, and any special requirements. Illustrated with more than 900 photos, including photos of several palm species that have never before appeared in a general encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia of Cultivated Palms is as valuable as an identification guide as it is a practical handbook. Interesting snippets of history, ethnobotany, and biology inform the text and make this a lively catalog of these remarkable plants.
