Oranges and Lemons and Kumquats, Oh My!
How cool would it be to flavor your gin and tonic with a lime plucked from an indoor tree? Or to smell orange blossoms in February? Or, if you live in a warmer climate, to harvest blood oranges and tangelos in your own backyard?
Whether you live in the frozen north or bask in Southern sunshine, Growing Citrus: The Essential Grower's Guide has ideas for everyone, including citrus to grow in pots on patios and decks.
This is one of those classic everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know garden books. Author Martin Page starts with origin and history (fun fact: citrus originated in China), moves on to botany and taxonomy (learn to use the word "nuceller" in a sentence!), then describes the many worldwide uses of citrus (everything from cleaning fluid to Curacao liquor), followed by ample how-to-grow information.
This fascinating book is guaranteed to turn you into a certified citrus geek. Get yours and amaze your friends with everything from that gin and tonic to a few choice citrus factoids.
