I seem to be letting nature take it's course, so I need to study the book a little more.

Having grown up around orchards, I thought I knew a fair bit about the subject. This book blew me away. Fantastic information, written in an approachable, easy-to-digest style. If you want to grow fruit trees, do yourself a favor and get this book first.

Solid information about the provenance, care, and harvesting of fruit from backyard trees. Includes information about all major types of fruit trees (apples, pears, plums, peaches &c). A handy way to get up to speed for people looking to finally take care of that life-giving tree under whose shade they have frolicked. A useful reference for people looking to plan a new orchard too.
