A must have book for anyone contemplating buying a fruit tree.
Very readable. Full of very useful information on selection, planting and maintenance of many fruit trees not just apples and pears. Would recommend even if planting only one tree, we are planting 200+.Also deals with pests and diseases. Full of clear diagrams of pruning and lots of colour photos.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
