This book is a classic article on the propagation of the date palm, with a particular focus on doing so through the use of offshoots. Written in plain language and full of useful information and invaluable tips, this volume will be of utility to anyone with an interest in producing dates, and would make for a great addition to collections of horticultural literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on growing fruit.
