Recommended Books on Fruit

• Arbury, Jim & Pinhey, Sally

  Pears

  Beautiful pictures & definitive descriptions. Suffers by comparison with 'The Book of Apples'. For the pear enthusiast.

• Baker, Harry

  The Fruit Garden Displayed

  Fruit (RHS)

  The authority & experience ranging across plants as different as strawberries & walnut trees can only be gazed at in awe by an amateur. The slightly quirky, personal layout of the first book was corralled by the RHS into their standard book format for the second, gaining in clarity of diagrams but also losing a bit of personality. Either volume is a must for the fruit-grower. I'll put in a plea here that the next edition includes M25 in its list of apple rootstocks!

  Complete Fruit Book

  Bob or his publisher sub-title this 'A definitive Source Book to Growing, Harvesting, & Cooking Fruit'. It's a book with enthusiasm for garden produce jumping from every corner of the attractive layout. Bob comes to gardening with an individual, organic approach and the book also covers a gloriously wide range of exotic fruit. Not for the absolute beginner.

  The Fruit Expert

  Ultra competent, complete and clear.

• Morgan, Joan & Richards, Alison

  The Book of Apples

  Apple history, apple stories, apple information. Tasting notes, pollination information, etc, on over 2000 varieties of apple. My desert island book. But beware- susceptible folk may become addicted to apples at the first bite of this book. A new edition has now been released
