5 Stars The Backyard Orchardist: A Complete Guide to Growing Fruit Trees in the Home Garden
Extremely helpful! Just moved to a new home and wanted to start my plants off right. This book helped me not only in the selection of my plants, but where on my property it is best to plant them, and how to properly plant them. I also learned the correct ways of pruning and fertilizing each plant. I have found this book to be an invaluable tool to a begining backyard gardener.

The Backyard Orchardist: A Complete Guide to Growing Fruit Trees in the Home GardenI found this book very thorough and informative for someone just learning about growing fruit and nut trees at home. It answered very nearly every one of my questions.

5 Stars great reference on fruit trees
I have about 5 books on fruit trees and this is by far the best and most comprehensive. Only drawback is that they don’t use real pictures.

3 Stars Garening
I bought this book because I wanted to learn to care for the fruit trees and plants in my yard. This book looks like it has a lot of good information but honestly unless you are really good at gardening it is very wordy. I don’t think I will sit and read it but I will probably use it as a reference book.
