Cycads by Loran M. Whitelock is the definitive Timber Press reference on these ancient, architectural plants. This hefty 2002 hardcover pairs 500-plus pages with lavish color plates, making it a bible for collectors, landscape designers, and serious gardeners alike.
The book surveys every extant cycad genus, detailing habitat, conservation status, and cultivation tips alongside crisp photographs and botanical art. Whitelock’s decades of fieldwork translate into practical guidance on soil, pests, and propagation, while the sturdy binding and generous dimensions let the imagery shine on the coffee table or potting bench.
This used copy arrives with its original dust jacket and all illustrations intact; pages remain crisp and fully readable despite light foxing on the inside covers and water-marked edges toward the rear. The binding is tight, no notes or dog-ears mar the text, and it ships from a smoke-free home, ready to anchor a nature lover’s library.
