[Organic_Gardening] Recommend Fruit Book?
Hi All,
I got a grafted apple tree (4 varieties of apples on one tree) and another fruit tree last year. So far, so good. I plan to get a couple (or maybe three?) fruit trees this year, as well as some fruit-bearing bushes.
Currently protecting my three blueberry bushes in my (heated) garage until it's warm enough to plant them outside without frost damage. The blueberries actually *have berries on them right now* and I'm in Zone 5 in MI so they're crazy-early and it breaks my heart to think about removing those berries --- even tho' I know that I prolly should to help the plants to grow - instead of sending their energy into fruit production. Ugh! Decisions... decisions.
Anyway, as a result of my new interest in growing fruits I'm asking for suggestions from you experienced folks on a good book that covers everything about caring for fruits - both trees and shrubs.
Last weekend I drove an hour (in a premium-fueled car no less!)for a presentation on fruit care. It was wonderful but I also know that I need good books and/or good websites to round out my education on caring for fruiting trees and shrubs. I'll be waiting and watching for all suggestions on this topic. Thanks in advance! Happy Gardening!
