Product Description
by Robert Atkinson (Author)
Contained within these pages is a detailed yet concise article on setting up and maintaining an apple orchard. It contains information on selection, pruning, planting, soils, equipment and tools, when and how to harvest, and much more. Complete with detailed illustrations and a wealth of handy and practical information, this is a guide that will be of considerable utility to the modern reader, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. The sections of this text include: 'Pre-Planting Work', 'Tree Planting', 'Early Management', 'Equipment and Costs', and more. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on growing fruit.
