Western Fruit Berries & Nuts,
By Jody "Jody" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Western Fruit (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of the best books ever written on fruit trees, berries, nut trees, grapes, etc. for the Western US. As a Master Gardener I reference it constantly. It doesn't use the standard USDA 10 zones, but a much more specific 19. Each type of fruit has its own chapter, with information on rootstock, fruiting date per variety, pruning type, mature size, and so forth. Their variety charts show name, zones, best features and shortcomings for each variety and an extensive narrative. It also contains chapters on grafting, subtropicals, container grown trees, pests and diseases, custom propagation and fruit growing in small areas. Written for the novice, it is outstanding in all respects.

The best book about Western Fruits, Berries and Nuts,
By E. Whittlesey (Comptche, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Western Fruit (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is the absolute best I have ever found: It not only shows photos of actual varieties to be able to compare them, but it has been the GO TO book for me for more than 40 years and developing several gardens and orchards! Invaluable information about climates, pests, propagation and so much more... all well explained.Just BUY it, you will never regret it. |
