We often recommend this RHS book by the former Fruit Officer at RHS Wisley Gardens so we thought we would supply it. It covers the growing and training of all that we have available and more.
Dedicated chapters on enviromental matters – climate, siting fruit and soils & drainage. Followed by soft fruit sections – Raspberries, Blackberries, Blackcurrants, Red & White currants, Gooseberries, Grapes & Strawberries.
The latter part of the book covers all types of growing tree fruits – Apples, Pears, Plums, Cherries, Quinces & Medlars. Also covered are more tender fruits – Peaches & Nectarines, Apricots and Figs.
No photographs but lots of clear line drawings. Do not be disappointed if your training of trees and bushes do not turn out to be as satisfactory as the drawings in the book!
A very comprehensive book

The Apples and Orchards of Worcestershire
Worcestershire was once renowned for its orchards and fruit growing. Over time numerous varieties arose in the county either as a result of chance seedlings or having been bred. Some of these varieties have become well known throughout the UK such as William Crump, Pitmaston Pineapple or even internationally like Worcester Pearmain. Most however are just known locally.
This is a book which describes all 32 for the first time with numerous photographs. The book is more than just records the varieties. There are chapters on how we come to have such a huge selection of apples & why parts of the county became fruit growing areas. Over time some varieties have become lost, 15 varieties are briefly described. As an addition the Counties pears – the historic Worcester Black & Pitmaston Duchess are included.
