Abiotic Disorders of Landscape Plants: A Diagnostic Guide

This book is an excellent publication. Any soil or water problems? This is your most important resource.

Very helpful in diagnosing plant disorders.

Wonderful resource for any gardener.

An excellent resource for the lay or professional gardener. Great tables, photographs, and information about problems most frequently seen and misdiagnosed as disease in the hobby and business of gardening. Though written from California, applicable to trees and shrubs on the opposite coast of VA. Combined in one volume is information on pH, planting, nutrient and other environmental problems which -when recognized- should reduce unnecessary application of pesticides and result in healthier plantings. This is the only reference of its type that I've found in nine years professionally advising homeowners, master gardeners, and other professionals.

As a second year horticulture student, required texts can often be difficult to read if one does not have a basic understanding of the subject matter. I found that these books read like instruction manuals, and didn't keep my attention well. Abiotic Disorders of Landscape Plants is well written and has pertinent information, easily to be entreated. Having no previous knowledge of the subject did little to hinder any understanding I am gaining from reading this book.

Very useful book, good ilustrations, shipped quickly. I am happy with this purchase.

Required reading

thanks

Concise text with appropriate photos. Tables and examples lack hardy northern species however, their diagnostic theory will work anywhere. Useful textbook.
