5.0 out of 5 stars Grow fruit in abundance with the help of this excellent book, 1 May 2003

By	Mr. A. C. Gilbert "thegilb" (Chatel sur Rolle, Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Once again, Hessayon comes up trumps with his simple, easy-to-follow and well-illustrated guide. There's everything you need to know about growing fruit, from the qualities of different varieties to planting and care.
My particular favourite is the fruit troubles area, as the illustrations enable you to pinpoint exactly what problem you have and show you how to treat them.
This book is a must for anyone starting out or wanting to reinject some life into an orchard or a fruit garden.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for any fruit growers., 11 Aug 2007

By	Dr. Richard J. Pickard (Winchester, UK.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have owned this book for several years. I have found it to be invaluable in the choosing and growing of many different fruits. It has extensive sections and reviews with colour pictures on choosing different varieties of apples pears, peaches etc. This includes some more unusual varieties as well as those more commonly available. The reviews are as useful in telling you what not to plant as what to plant. There are reasonable sections on pruning (but I think this is better done by the RHS Growing Fruit book.) The section on diseases and pests is also very good with clear illustrations for correct identification of problems.
In summary an excellent book particularly to help with choosing which varieties to plant, although the prunning sections are a little breif.

4.0 out of 5 stars New cover, but still old-fashioned inside, 22 Mar 2008

By	Mr. Nicholas Dougan "Nick" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I have the 2002 edition, but it still only offers imperial measurements. While this may be an irritation for some, I do find inches and feet so much more appropriate for practical matters like gardening!

An excellent book with a great deal of practical advice on planting, mulching, pruning, picking, disease control, etc. I would prefer just a little more detail on these matters, however, and perhaps a slightly less comprehensive list of varieties - many of which are not availabe even from specialist nurseries.

But why change much - how much can gardening change?

I have just ordered the Rose Expert.
