Customer Reviews

great easy to use resource guide

This book is a simple, practical, ongoing resource guide to growing many different kinds of fruits. Other books I have read only have your typical fruit trees while this one covers all different kinds of fruits. It even includes some that are not normally presented such as gooseberries and elderberries. It takes you all the way from planting it the first time to ongoing care and pruning. In addition to growing your fruit, it gives you simple ways to preserve and use your harvest. This is a great practical guide to those who are new to growing fruit as well as those who need a refresher course.

Great reference

This is a great investment for how to harvest, freeze and create recipes for any particular fruit or berry. No pictures, but no pictures are needed. I enjoyed it.

awesome!

This book has an answer to every question! Please be aware that even though tomatoes are fruits, they are not covered in this book but she does cover them in her veggie book. I have both and would highly recommend them to any gardener of all levels. I am probably somewhere in the middle and I love her writing style...so easy to understand and doesn't make you feel stupid. Easy categories and clear index make it easy to refer back and forth.
