A classic contribution to horticultural science and practice, this volume has been updated to reflect the latest research for propagating trees, shrubs, and woody climbers. More than just a "how-to', the manual details everything one needs to be successful with growing woody plants from seed, cuttings, grafting, and tissue culture. At the heart of the books is an A-Z encyclopedia with information on every commercially important woody plant. Each entry provides specific information regarding stratification treatments, hormones, media, cutting-wood condition, and propagation systems. Even current costs and relative success rates are included.--back cover.
