Basics of Plant Propagation

I previewed 5 books on plant propagation from our local library prior to purchasing "Plant Propagation A to Z". This book may not be the best for those very knowledgeable in plant propagation but it is a great resource book for anyone with less than expert knowledge. It does cover most of the ways that a person can propagate plants and contains the information you need to start or divide plants. My personal interest is in starting seeds in a small greenhouse. I purchased it only a few weeks ago and have already used it many times.

Great Propagation Book

Wonderful that he now has a book for the US market with numerous easy-to-read tables, lots of data, and plant specific sections (alphabetized). His older book is good, too, but more for New Zealand.

Plant propagation A to Z

This is a great book for beginners as well as the seasoned gardener. Very easy to understand language and a lot of pictures. Anyone who has ever considered propagating their own plants either from seed to grafting should really consider buying this book.

THE only book you'll need on propagation

Filled with lots of photos and charts. Very thorough listings broken down by propagation category (seed, cutting, division etc) and genus listing best time, requirements, time required etc. I've been a plantaholic for about 25 years and was amazed at how much the book had to offer. With all of the photos, charts and descriptions it should be detailed enough for the beginner too.

Plant Propagation A to Z

I love this book. Beautiful color photos of propagation. We use this in our class for Master Gardeners for reference. I like the way it has seperate lists for cuttings and division and seed germination. This makes it for fast look up. I bought one for home use too. The reference part tells season to do propagation,strike time or germination time and temp. All around good reference guide.
