This book walks you through step by step how to start your own orchard: from planning the orchard, testing the soil, to selecting the trees for your climate.

3.0 out of 5 stars Practical but USA based, 9 Oct 2008
By Asterix (England) - See all my reviews
Practical advice sound throughout but buyers should be aware that this book is US based so all climates, jargon is american, as are the fruit names etc making it less useful for anyone european based.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUDDING Out All Over!, 9 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Stella Otto knows her fruit! She should with her experience. Book is jam packed (pun intended) with a full 260 plus pages of sweet info that all of us who are preparing for the year 2000 and beyond, those concerned with permaculture, simple life, and sustainable food sources should have this book on the shelf at home to refer to! Way to go Stella!
