Betrocks Florida Plant Guide

Everything was exactly as promised and the order arrived very quickly. I hope I have the privilege of shopping with this seller again in the near future. Thanks for a great deal! BAF

I moved to Florida from NJ. Betrocks Florida Plant Guide has been a life saver for me. The pictures are great. Because I am near the ocean I was very concerned about plants withstanding the salt spray and constant winds. I refer to this book very often and have recommended it to everyone who asks. Great reference.

Betrock has provided a wonderful source for the Florida gardener. This book provides the hardiness zone for each and every plant they review, which is very helpfull for the northern Florida gardener that is trying to plant a tropical looking garden, and does not want to replant each year. There are color pictures of every plant, many of them when they are in bloom, and they are on the same page as the subject matter (no looking all over the book for the pictures). Everything from how to culture, care for, and plant, to special notes specific to each plant. The notes frequently cover what happens to that tropical plant, that you plant in zone 8 when you really should have planted it in zone 9-10, like will it come back from the ground in the spring or are you going to have to be looking for that Lowe's/Home Depot reciept. If you are a serious botanist this is not your book, but if you are the weekend warrior, that is aspiring for greatness, this is the book for you. You will love the simplicity.
