This book is essential for any thinking of embarking of growing fruit (or for the more experienced gardener that would like a reference). 

A beautifully illustrated book with photos and diagrams to explain what they are talking about – a must for any fruit agardener, especially a beginner.  It covers trees fruit, soft and exotics all in one book.  There is a wealth of clear, practical advice with tips and techniques including pruning and training from traditional ‘old English’ methods to more modern.  The lovely photos help you identify any problems you may have along the way with any of your fruit– and gives ideas of what you could do to prevent the same happening the following season.

Excellently laid this book just makes you want to read and learn about all it has to offer and a very good investment for any fruit grower.
