author of Woody Cut Stems for Growers and Florists

November 4, 2015

Lane Greer's experience with woody cuts originates from her own cut flower farm, where she raised an acre of annuals, perennials, and woody shrubs. She received a PhD from North Carolina State University and taught at Mississippi State University. She honed her sustainable agriculture skills at ATTRA, the national sustainable agriculture information service, providing information to growers around the country on production and marketing of ornamentals.

Woody Cut Stems presents detailed information on more than 100 genera used for cut stems, including those grown for flowers, fruits and foliage. The authors provide extensive production guidelines along with explanations of techniques such as coppicing, forcing and wildcrafting. Rounding out the book are useful charts and tables that list species according to characteristics such as color, season of bloom, use and fragrance.
