I'm glad to hear the feedback. I think I'll save my money.

So did I. It was still time to cancel my command on Amazon.
I'm lucky.

I finally finished with this one last night. I'll take a more charitable approach than Millet in that it appears that Mr. Page's experience is mostly in the U.K. and Europe so it's somewhat difficult to translate his experience and recommendations into something that we here in the States can use. I think he does have a fair amount of experience in growing container citrus, but his methods seem a little peculiar to us here mostly I think because we have differing materials available to us.

If I lived in the U.K. or Europe I think I would buy this one. Here in the States though it's nice for its layout, photos, and its history but for practical advice I'd look elsewhere. I did learn more about rootstocks that are somewhat uncommon here in Florida, but he didn't mention Swingle citrumelo at all.

.....Alan.
