Summary: Invaluable Cycad Reference
Comment: Loran Whitelock has put a lifetime of cycad knowledge and experience in this book. Its excellent photographs give both views of mature plants and close ups of leaf detail that help readers distinguish among similar species. In addition to detailed physical descriptions of all of the recognized cycads and subspecies, Whitelock gives invaluable information on habitat, geographical distribution, conservation status and horticultural characteristics. This book will be the standard reference for cycad gardeners and admirers for many years.
Rating: 5
Summary: The Cycad "Bible"
Comment: This book will prove invaluable to anyone who has ever brought a single cycad into their garden on impulse and years later found themselves with a small "forest" of these rare and fascinating ornamental plants. Written for all of us, Loren Whitelock has devoted his life to the study and cultivation of these contemporaries of the dinosaurs and the photo section is rich with shots of cycads in their natural habitat. The cultivation and propagation sections are based on years of actual experience growing cycads, but it is in the detailed species descriptions that "The Cycads" excels. Excellent line drawings by Geoff Stein accent many of the pages, but you'll find yourself wishing that there were more. If you garden and you've gotten "hooked" on cycads, this is the book to buy.
