Críticas:
Hurrah for Dr. Francko! He has achieved the near-impossible feat of writing a book on hardy palms and other exotics that is at once scientific and accessible. Low on guesswork and assumptions, high on facts, figures, and solid experience, it will surely set the standard for this increasingly popular hobby. -- Martin Gibbons Palm Centre 20021008 A wonderful book!

Francko provides both the why and the how of successful experimentation with growing plants several zones away from their supposed homes. He gives the real skinny on bananas and bamboos -- great chapter. I suspect his brand of calm, well-reasoned and lucid explanations on handling winter for plants both temperate and tropical will soothe the panicked beginner and become the bible to consult when well-seasoned gardeners get a little worried by some winter event. This is looking like a book to keep on the desk rather than stow in the bookcase. -- Diane Heilenman Louisville Courier-Journal 20021114 If you've ever been tempted to add palms and other subtropical to your landscape, wait no more.

Reseña del editor:
Palms that grow in Canada? Bananas that overwinter in Michigan? How about southern crape myrtles that flower in Birmingham, England, instead of Birmingham, Alabama? Although the voice of authority - and nursery labels - might say, 'You can't grow those plants here', author Dave Francko has a different message for gardeners: 'plants can't read the information on their tags'. Laced with humorous anecdotes and based on years of first-hand observations and research, this book provides real-world information to help adventurous gardeners grow plants they never before dreamed possible. Nobody who reads this book will ever look at a plant label the same way again.
