The Southern Gardener's Guide to Growing Fruit Trees: How to Cultivate and Enjoy Fruit Trees in the South

For a complete novice, it's a good book, but if you know the basics of fruit tree growing ten it's a waste of time. Since it's free I should complain. "You get what you pay for"

Excellent reference

Contains lots of useful information, though not much that can't easily be found on the internet. Not much on spraying trees for insects. The peach ice cream recipe is fantastic, even with frozen peaches.

Too many trees covered with very little information about each. Written as to a class of third graders. Nothing you can't get really quickly with an internet search. Now, if you are teaching a class of kids about trees, this would be a good textbook.

this book is exactly what I needed I wanted to know what fruit trees would do ok in my area and it also showed me which trees did best with the trees I wanted, so many books wont show you that.

Excellent.....very well written guide. The information provided is descriptive with good instructions.I would recommend this book for starting and maintaining a home fruit orchard.

Not a book for Florida.Most everything in it grew back in Michigan.

This book was so very helpful for me to learn about the trees I want to plant in my southern garden. It is easy to read and comprehensive. If you need help with fruit trees for the south read this one.

I especially loved the historical backgrounds of the fruit trees he covered. This was very enjoyable. I read it in a day! Great for beginners. I would buy it again and recommend it.
