PALMERS CITRUS HANDBOOK
Eion Scarrow – David Bateman - $19.99

This excellent handbook was originally published in 1992 and has now been fully updated and revised making it the ultimate guide to growing citrus in New Zealand.
Having just bought a lemon tree for our home garden in the city I have read the book from cover to cover and can report that it is a straightforward and useful book which includes a monthly calendar and even a recipe section with tips on making marmalade as well as using citrus in drinks, light meals, baking, salads and desserts.
Eion Scarrow has more than 20 books to his credit and is a well known and highly respected gardener and gardening journalist. His TV show, Dig This, ran for 500 episodes over 14 years.
