3) Growing Tree Fruits
Bazeley, Bonham

London: Collins, 1990. Home-grown fruit has become more popular as new techniques of training make it possible even for gardeners with limited space to grow at least one fruit tree. Current anxiety about chemical sprays on commercially-produced fruit has also encouraged home growers. In this book the author has written a practical guide to all the varieties of fruit trees that the amateur gardener might wish to grow. As well as sections on traditional favourites, he also mentions more exotic fruit such as apricots, medlars, figs and peaches. Bonham Bazeley was for many years managing director of Highfield Nurseries, specialist growers of a wide range of hardy plants including fruit trees. 160pp.. ISBN: 0004113365. First Edition. Cloth.

Gardeners can find the information they need quickly, and each of the 272 entries include beautiful photographs showing the plant characteristics in a natural setting. Specific gardening information is listed for each tree - the plant type, zone grown in, fruit or flower, habit or foliage, height, width, spacing, light, soil, care, uses in the garden, problems, insider's tips, and complimentary plants.
