All palm books are "must have"s, if you love palms--especially the scientific ones.

I was looking through some of my books just the other night, and it struck me how out of date many of them are, specifically on the Malagasy palms. What is currently the "best" reference for the various Malagasy palms in terms of having the most accurate and current data?

Nice to have picture books but be prepared for to diagnose pests and diseases, these two are crucial for serious growers.

"ORNAMENTAL PALMS in HORTICULTURE" by Tim Broschat

"ORNAMENTAL PALM DISEASES AND DISORDERS" by the American Phytopathological Society

[Jeff Searle]

The Field Guide to the Palms of Madagascar is recommended as well.
