The Friendly Bamboo Revolution
This attractive book presents useful information on selecting bamboos for one's landscape. In addition to descriptions of "favorite 50 bamboos," advice is given on planting and maintaining the chosen plants. Useful information is given on types of soil, watering, fertilizing, installing barriers, and more. The book is indeed what its subtitle says: "Landscaping with Bamboo -- A practical Guide."The full-color pictures are outstanding, and well chosen to illustrate the plants both close up and then effectively in a landscape position. Each page has from one to four pictures...I recommend this book. It provides ideas even for established gardens, which can often be improved with a new approach. --Bamboo, Magazine of the American Bamboo Society, April 2008 Vol.29 Issue 2
