Trees for Gardens, Orchards, and Permaculture Paperback – Illustrated, May 4, 2015
Purchase options and add-ons
Are you wondering which productive trees to plant in your garden? Or are you planning a forest garden? Perhaps you are planting an orchard but want a greater diversity of useful trees than is typical? Or you’d like to know what unusual fruit trees you can use? The answers to all these questions can be found in master forest gardener Martin Crawford’s new book.
Crawford has researched and experimented with tree crops for twenty-five years and has selected over one hundred of the best trees producing fruits, nuts, edible leaves, and other useful products that can be grown in Europe and North America. Each of the trees or tree groups includes details of:
• Origin and history
• Description and uses
• Varieties/cultivars
• Cultivation, pests, and diseases
• Related species
• European and North American suppliers
• Color photos with every entry.
The appendices make choosing trees for your situation easy, with lists of suitable trees for specific situations, plus flowcharts to guide you. If you want to know about and make use of the large diversity of tree crops that are available in temperate and continental climates, then this book―by an internationally acknowledged expert―is both fascinating and essential reading.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019I recently bought 6 acres and was trying to decide what trees to plant. This book has helped immensely. Trees were included that I hadn't ever considered before or even knew existed such as a butternut. I look forward to implementing these trees into my permaculture design. What was also extremely helpful is the list of suppliers in the back of the book. It's great to give information about plants, but it doesn't do any good if you don't know where to buy them. This gives an extensive list of nursery's where you can buy the trees.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2015Martin is an international voice from the UK providing solid insights into all levels of gardening. When permaculture is part of the overall design and eventual implementation of your gardening plan, with his guidance and information you know you will have the best garden possibly . . . everything will be so integrated that you'll find synchronicity expressed in the successful results.

MaxReviewed in Italy on April 30, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Approfondimento indispensabile
Dopo Creating a Forest Garden anche questo titolo è indispensabile nella biblioteca di chi progetta foreste commestibili. Il libro è composto da schede approfondite di molte piante. Consigliato! Purtroppo in lingua inglese.
S MaxwellReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 30, 20155.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful book
I was really looking forward to reading this book when I ordered it, and Mr Crawford didn't disappoint. The book covers many tree species, giving information in all aspects that the grower could reasonably require to successfully obtain a yield from the trees. There is a wealth of useful information that I have seen nowhere else, for example as a grower of sea buckthorn (purchased from Mr Crawford of course) he explains the importance of letting the plant sucker and it's strong aversion to shade which i had not read elsewhere, despite having researched for several months on the internet.
The photos are very nice and overall presentation of the book is superb, and very clearly laid out. Some cultivar lists have had to be left out due to lack of space in the book for these long lists which is understandable. I would highly recommend this fine book to any grower of trees or persons interested in this subject. Lastly, it is written from a UK perspective but has info equally applicable to growers in other temperate areas, Europe, North America etc.
Julian RussellReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 13, 20155.0 out of 5 stars I learnt a lot from reading it and I shall continue to enjoy revisiting it
This book is a timely masterpiece. For anyone with an interest in common and less common fruit and nut trees, this is an exciting new addition to the available literature. The information is clear and accessible with attractive colour photos through out. I learnt a lot from reading it and I shall continue to enjoy revisiting it. Thank you very much Mr Martin Crawford, you help to make a brighter future possible,
Amazon CustomerReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 15, 20175.0 out of 5 stars Informative and educational
This is an amazing book. Recommended to me by a friend, I am now referring to it constantly to identify trees and shrubs for my forest garden. Well presented, containing valuable information for anyone wishing to grow trees and shrubs particularly those with edible fruits and leaves.
