Bamboo for Gardens

The photographs scattered throughout the book are what you would expect of an experienced photographer. They illustrate both single species and landscape plantings of bamboos.

Weaknesses of Book

I find only two potential weaknesses. First, I would have loved to see all the bamboo species illustrated. Second, I was unable to learn if any bamboo species is suitable for growing as a houseplant. I even checked through his listing of bamboos for specific circumstances and was disappointed to see any information about which species might do well indoors was totally left out. If this book is updated, may I suggest the author add at least an appendix with this information?

Should You Buy This Book?

This book is sure to expand your horizons as a gardener. If you live where bamboos are perennial grasses, you should have this book on your shelves. Bamboos can solve many problems for the gardener.
