Here is the book for every gardener, with a temperate, or cool temperate garden, and who wants to produce fruit. It covers over 40 different type of fruit, both tree fruits, and 'soft' fruits. There is something to suit any size of garden: wall-trained cordon apples, or ground cover strawberries, for a very small space, a stately walnut tree for a large garden and exotic fruit to grow under glass or, sometimes, on the windowsill. All the fruits that can be grown practically in temperate or cool temperate climates are covered, and the range is irresistible: pears, peaches and nectarines, a vine, currants, gooseberries and strawberries, oranges, melon and pineapple.
The practical information includes considerations of climate and growing conditions, planting training, pruning and harvesting, and there are helpful suggestions on the fruit to suit your garden.
The author has grown his own fruit for very many years, and in gardens that have ranged from a grand 18th century walled kitchen garden to a small garden once owned by the village stonemason. He has written many books, and very many articles. If you would like to find out more, visit his author page here on Amazon. He also has a website and a blog - www.david-stuart.co.uk and www.davidcstuart.wordpress.com.
