Tree ferns in the landscape command the attention of both devoted gardeners and casual passersby. Their stately form resembles that of the palm tree and evokes a feeling of the quintessentially exotic. This volume is the source for information on the living tree ferns. It surveys families, genera, and species, including those suitable for the home garden. It offers up-to-date taxonomy and detailed descriptions as well as in-depth coverage of everything from tree fern use to conservation. In recognition of the horticultural importance of tree ferns, the authors provide extensive cultivation information, including propagation, and diseases and pests. This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.
Mark F. Large's interest in fern evolution and paleobotany spans 20 years. He has authored many fern publications and acted as a botanical consultant for the popular television series Walking with Dinosaurs. He is an associate professor of botany and heads the School of Landscape and Plant Science at UNITEC Institute of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand.
