How to Prune Fruit Trees - Twentieth Edition

Georgia Sales

Sinopsis

Make the right cut every time and maximize your fruit production—covers over forty varieties of trees from apples to almonds and plums to pomegranates.  Note: If you would like to see the Echo Point paperback version of How to Prune Fruit Trees, please search ISBN 1626549540.   While the act of pruning is simple enough, knowing where and when to prune can confound even experienced gardeners. For more than half a century, Robert Sanford Martin’s How to Prune Fruit Trees has been the go-to guide for pruners of all levels of expertise. As one reviewer noted, “This book simplifies what other books complicate. It has a small amount of text paired with line drawings that help break pruning tasks down into something you can easily understand.” Martin has judiciously pruned his words to make his advice as clear and simple as possible. His guidance in the art of cutting back and thinning out has been responsible for the preservation of countless healthy trees and orchards.   In this enhanced edition, additional information from H. H. Thomas’s Pruning Made Easy explores the treatment of roots, side shoots, sub-laterals, standards, cordon trees, and other aspects of plant care. Well illustrated and clear, this book is an indispensable guide for year-round pruning success for both seasoned and amateur gardeners.

Nature Notes

Sue Belfrage

READ BY THE AUTHOR 
** A Winner of the Woodland Books of the Year Award ** 
In a stressful, chaotic world, many of us are turning to nature for a sense of serenity and happiness. 
While the idea of the wild outdoors is enticing, though, our busy lives and our location can cause us to become detached from nature. Down to the River and Up to the Trees will show you how to connect with the natural world around you, whether you live in the city or the countryside. 
From getting to know the local wildlife, to foraging and creating naturally-sourced masterpieces, Down to the River is brimming with practical information, intriguing quotes and inspirational ideas. Discover how to carve your own spoon; to be able to tell if the moon is waxing or waning; or try forest bathing (surrounding yourself with trees). Learn how to make yourself at home amongst the animals and plants on your doorstep, in harmony with your surroundings. There is space too for you to record your thoughts and findings, whatever shape they take. 
This book is a top pick for those seeking mindfulness and serenity. Engage your mind, body, and spirit in the best of hobbies, from seasonal crafts to meditation. It's a holiday for your senses, a journey through the seasons that brings peace and tranquilly. 
For fans of Simon Barnes (Rewild Yourself), Emma Mitchell (The Wild Remedy), Dr Qing Li (Into the Forest), Lucy Jones (Losing Eden), and Clemens G. Arvay (The Biophilia Effect).
