1.0 out of 5 stars A Ripoff for Orchardists, October 3, 2003

This review is from: Grafting Fruit Trees: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-35 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin) (Paperback)

This book is a 32-page flimsy pamphlet of the kind that your local Agricultural Extension Service often gives away for free.
There is a paucity of information, no pictures, poor hand-drawn graphics, no mention of anything of value to southern farmers. NO mention of air-layering, and NO compatibility tables for different types of fruit. Egad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really helped us out with our new place, April 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Grafting Fruit Trees: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-35 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin) (Paperback)

We recently bought a small farm and orchard and were simply overwhelmed about what to do with the fruit trees. Fortunately for us, the local feed store was selling this great little book. It covers the essentials for successful grafting and budding, includes the info needed so that the proper tools are acquired and/or used, when to do the different types of grafting and budding, as well as the definitions of the various types of grafting.
