Tree Fern & Fern Identification and Horticulture Books
Welcome to our Lübeck Haus Bookstore's catalogue page for books about tree fern and fern horticulture, including tree fern propagation, tree fern identification, and tree fern culture and cultivation. Includes instructions for collecting, processing and propagating new tree ferns.
Tree Ferns have graced our planet for hundreds of millions of years. Today there are about 12,000 identified and named species of ferns worldwide, and the variety to be found among them is staggering. They occur in an wide array of shapes and forms, textures, and even colors. From towering tree ferns to tiny water clovers, ferns and fern allies offer a wide range of uses in the garden, greenhouse, and home.
The term "Tree Fern" is a somewhat arbitary term that has been applied to any fern with a large erect rhizome, which is that portion of the fern that bears the leaves. Thus tree ferns are all true ferns in that they are flowerless plants that reproduce by the production of spores.
Most tree ferns have a distinctive primeval appearance with a tall truck-like rhizome holding a palm-like group of fronds near or at the top end.
In addition, we have included several excellent books on building and using a greenhouse.
The following list of books were carefully selected by our research staff for nursery workers, botanists, biologists, horticulturist, the do-it-yourself propagator, and home gardeners. These books were selected because their text material is clearly written, easy to follow, and usually are accompanied with instructive photographs and detailed illustrations. And that if followed closely
by the reader, the reader should be able to perform the work necessary to complete a successful propagation project.
