Customer Reviews

Help in time of need
I went on the web looking for help with my weeping fig tree. I read the other reviews for this book and decided to try it (I've tried everything else!). I wasn't disappointed - it has dozens of interesting facts about fig trees, and I now use it as my 'bible' to help me. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who loves these beautiful plants and is tired of falling leaves and 'finicky' behaviour.

This book is worth a lot more than $[$$$]
I was genuinely surprised to open this book and find the answer to every question I had about the forest of ficus that I have to care for daily. I put the suggestions into practice and the trees stopped shedding leaves and are now beginning to grow strongly. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who needs help with these tempermental but beautiful trees.
