I ordered this a while back, worth the 12 bucks or whatever it was

Nice to have the print out. I gave my copy to someone and haven't gotten another yet.
Did anyone else notice that pages 18 and 19 are not included in the print out?

Did you also notice that the last sentence of page 10 has no end?

Millet · Posted: Sat 11 Apr, 2009 4:22 pm

In the actual book the sentence does have an end. In the book it reads:

Juvenile citrus must grow to a certain point before they begin blooming, and excessive pruning of young limbs can keep them in a state of arrested development.

Thank you very much.
I have the actual book (second printing: February 2006) and the end is missing!

Sylvain, that's interesting. The book's proof reader missed that sentence. My book is from the first printing in 2004. - Millet (1,379-)

You can order the book here: http://sepalms.org/SPS_Publications.htm

Its formatted like a Magazine, and It costs 12 dollars plus 2 in postage and it is probably the only and best book(let) in the world for reading about hardy citrus growing and varieties. I have worn my own 2004 print totally out, it is a very good read when you are interested in this topic.

Tom McClendon wrote the Hardy Citrus book, and he did a very good job. He is a experienced amateur citrus grower, and he grows citrus in two differen gardens in different zones. One in relatively continental Central Georgia and on in a much milder coastal garden. A lot of the Hardy Citrus varieties that you never heard about are described in this book, along with cultivation, propogation, hardiness, diseases and other relevant topics.

Order You own copy now ! it beats fidgetting around with incomplete prints or digital versions.

Bernhard Voss has also written a couple of books about citrus, that have a special mention of hardy varieties and growing hardy citrus, but his books are in German language.

I repeat: It is the ordered copy that has incomplete prints.
