by Bruce Macdonald

This authoritative and comprehensive book covers the spectrum of practices successfully used for commercial woody plant propagation, ranging from traditional layering methods to the recent developments of direct sticking and micropropagation. There are detailed chapters on protected propagation facilities, clonal selection programs, and bench grafting.

Bruce Macdonald has based his book on his 18 years of personal propagation experience, as well as his extensive travels to many of the leading nurseries in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe. His book is directed to those entering the nursery trade as a career and to students of practical nursery production, as well as the nursery owner and employee who wish to revise their present practices by learning of other procedures or to add other methods of regenerating plants to their propagation program.
