The Palms of Cuba book

[Licuala]

My newly published book, The Palms of Cuba, is available on my website (www.palmnutpages.com) autographed and with free shipping as well as being available and on Amazon.com! Price is $39.95.

Considering its small size, Cuba is home to a extremely diversified group of native plants, which includes its palms. Most are native to Cuba and no where else. The Palms of Cuba is the only comprehensive guide to all the 98 taxa of palms native to Cuba along with their classification and an identification key. Included are descriptions for each species, distribution maps, habitat types, conservation status, cultivation needs and other useful information. Both the novice backyard grower and the serious palm aficionado will find plenty of useful information on which species can be grown in the landscape. The 232 pages include over 420 photos of the palms in habitat and a glossary of terms as a reference for the reader. Here is a sampling.

Yes, you are correct!!!  It is amazing how many times you can go through a manuscript and also have others check it repeatedly and still miss mistakes as blatant as this! Thank you for letting me know!

You are correct yet again!  Not sure how that all got missed considering the number of times it was proof read .......

I picked up a signed copy at a local plant sale. Great book. Well written. Good book to add to you library.

[Licuala]

So Amazon.com has been restocked with books, so anyone trying to buy from there can do so. This is particularly a good way to buy the book overseas!;-)

 

[PalmatierMeg]

This is a great book! If you have any interest in Cuban palms, it's a must-have.

[Licuala]

Back from the Colombia Biennial, which was a great trip to renew friendships and see palms!;-) 

Plenty of books still available and able to ship either on my website, www.palmnutpages.com or Amazon.com!

I will be giving a talk this Saturday at Mead Botanical Garden in Orlando for the Central Florida Palm and Cycad Society at 1:30PM. The talk will be about the palms of Cuba and I will have books there to sell as well. If you will be in the area, stop by!;-)
