This is the owners manual for fruit trees. A highly informative, extremely practical book packed with useful tips on successful fruit tree growing. Otto starts from the beginning how to plant and care for young fruit trees, and walks you through the season, from fertilizing to pruning to thinning fruit to managing pests, even proper harvest and storage techniques. One chapter is devoted to each of the major temperate fruits, apples, pears, sweet cherries, pie cherries, peaches and nectarines, plums and apricots. We keep it handy on the shelf and refer to it often. Highly recommended.
