5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful illustrations.

"Apples" found wanting

The first half of "The New Book of Apples" provides a very fine overview of the origin, history, and uses of apples. However, the second half, the Directory of Apples is such a bare-bones overview of most species - except the best known - as to be of minimal worth, and some species that I enjoyed this summer are missing entirely. This latter section needs to be at least doubled in quantity and quality of information. Truly disappointing after a good start.

I was looking for a book which would help me choose apple trees with regard to their pollinators and disease resistance.
This book is a history of apple cultivation. Nice, but without the facts I need to make choices in the present. |
