Magnolias

Revered by gardeners since ancient times, when they were brought into cultivation in Asia, magnolias have lost none of their allure. In fact, a steady supply of new magnolias has become available in recent years, from both newly discovered species and newly created hybrids, making the genus a source of greater horticultural excitement than ever before. Though loosely based on the author's 1989 book of the same name, Magnolias is so extensively revised and expanded as to be considered an entirely new book. This highly illustrated survey of the genus includes species and hybrids, and extensive information on cultivation and propagation. The appendices list societies, plants for specific landscape situations, plants that have received awards, and places to see and buy magnolias. This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.
