Book Description: Effective fruit production requires general knowledge of fruit husbandry such as nutrition, propagation, pruning and training, effects of climate and crop protection as well as specific cultivation techniques for each fruit. Fully revised and expanded to include organic fruit production, this new edition provides a thorough introduction to the cultivation of fruit found throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Praise for the 2nd edition:'...this new publication represents a comprehensive update of temperate and subtropical fruit production practices in a structure and style which works well as both a core pomology text and basic reference for these increasingly information intensive times.' Tom Gradziel, HortTechnology'As an educational and reference text addressing the why, how and what to do in fruit growing, I recommend this book as a valuable introduction.' G.S.
