Designing with Palms

by Jason Dewees

“If you want to successfully add more bold fronds and a tropical style to your landscape,  Designing With Palms  is the comprehensive book for you.” — Gardenista  

Palms are a landscape staple in warm, temperate climates worldwide. But these stunning and statement-making plants are large, expensive, and difficult to install, resulting in unique design challenges. In Designing with Palms , palm expert Jason Dewees details every major aspect of designing and caring for palms. This definitive guide shares essential information on planting, irrigation, nutrition, pruning, and transplanting. A gallery of the most important species showcases the range of options available, and stunning photographs by Caitlin Atkinson spotlight examples of home and public landscapes that make excellent use of palms.

This book contained beautiful photos of palm trees and gardens using palms and was very informative. Unfortunately, it read like a textbook, so it was a bit dry for the average reader.

Not just a book about landscaping with palms, but literally everything you've ever wanted to know about palm trees. For example, how to tell a palm from some lying fern or something. There is also a lot of information on how to properly care for your palm tree - a great resource for anyone living in an area where palm trees are common. Not super useful for someone living in the Pacific Northwest. I tried planting a palm tree once. It died.
