The Story
Completely revised and updated, the new Citrus-A Gardeners' and Fruit Lovers' Guide includes twice as many color photographs and dozens of new variety descriptions as the classic original edition, published some 30 years ago.
For anyone who grows citrus or wants to begin, this book offers complete, up-to-date information for selecting and growing both new and tried-and-true varieties of oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and kumquats, as well as exotic citrus. Author Lance Walheim tailored the book to gardeners in California, Arizona, Texas, the Gulf Coast, Florida and the southern Atlantic states of Georgia and South Carolina, but also explains how to grow citrus successfully in cold-winter areas and indoors. Walheim offers practical methods for making citrus part of outdoor living areas-in entries, backyards, courtyards, and even in containers for patio gardens. He also tells how, with the varied harvest seasons of citrus, one can grow and enjoy fresh fruit almost year-round. Walheim also discusses alternative, organic methods of pest control.
