Palms have fascinated gardeners and landscapers for thousands of years.The great plantings of the Victorian era have left a legacy of striking, dramatic palm groves and avenues in many parks and public gardens and many old domestic gardens and terrace house courtyards are elegantly accented by the slender, graceful subjects which so perfectly complement houses of the older style.
This informative, practical guide surveys the most popular palms of the world, providing the information on each indispensable to careful choice, appropriate use and care. Following a general introduction giving advice on the cultivation and use of the palms in gardens and as container plants, there is a definitive description of each palm tree, each species discussed accompanied by a full-colour photograph, with habitat, landscape use and cultivation advice. At the end of the book lists the palms suited to particular conditions and uses( for containers, the tropics, frost areas, deep shade, full sun etc) are given.
