[A]n an excellent collection of information... The photographs, figures, and tables are outstanding and facilitate understanding and clarify issues that would have required many additional words to achieve similar clarity... Growing Fruit Trees was a pleasure for the mind and a joy for the eyes--a delightful work. Highly recommended. -- G. S. Howell - CHOICE If followed, there is no doubt that this book will set the reader on the right direction to producing good quality and regular crops of fruit... For a horticultural student who sees fruit-growing as part of their future, then this book is excellent. For the aspiring fruiticulteur, it is a must. -- The Garden More than 300 full-color photos and drawings elegantly illustrate the technical details, making this a valuable resource for landscape designers, arborists, horticulturists, and serious gardeners. -- Landscape Architecture Magazine [E]ssential... [E]xtraordinarily helpful... [A] beautiful book, not only in its abundant color photographs and diagrams, but also in its approach to the care of fruit trees...
