This review is from: Growing Fruit (RHS Encyclopedia of Practical Gardening) (Paperback)
I have an extensive home orchard with 162 trees (27 varietals) of fruit and nut trees. This little volume covered everything I needed in a short, erudite and amazingly well-detailed volume. I live in the Southeastern US and this book was spot on everything from blueberries to stone fruits and pears and apples, (not to mention Walnuts and Filberts). It covers everything from soil preparation, pruning, fertilization, pests and diseases, propagation, healing-in, ad infinitum. I have nearly every book available on fruit and nut production for the home orchard. This is the best one I own by leaps and bounds.

Growing Fruit (RHS Encyclopedia of Practical Gardening) by Harry Baker,
By Karen F. Beach "Miss Read" (Seminole, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Growing Fruit (RHS Encyclopedia of Practical Gardening) (Paperback)
I am very glad I purchased this book before I started planting my fruit trees. I did not realize what needed to be done, for best results, before the trees were planted. I also got a better idea of the size fruit trees I needed for our use. The book is very informative. I look forward to studying it during the summer and, hopefully, starting the planting of trees in late fall when everything is prepared. It is a little complicated to follow and I found I needed real quiet to get the details lined out. I had to take many notes in order get everything into a easy format to follow.

On time and good book,
This review is from: Growing Fruit (RHS Encyclopedia of Practical Gardening) (Paperback)
This is an informative book without being boring. Lots of diagrams. The book is laid out well and it's easy to find the information.
