Originally part of The Smallholder's Pocket Guides series, this volume contains a simple guide to growing fruit in a garden or on a smallholding. Home-Grown Fruit contains simple, clear instructions and useful photographs intended to inform the reader about the simplest and most effective methods of producing fruit, with a particular focus on year-round care and maintenance. Contents include: Fruit from your Garden , Selecting the Fruit to Suit your Purpose , Some Popular Fruit Varieties , Modern Soft Fruit Varieties , How to Plant a Fruit Tree or Bush , After Planting Soft Fruit Trees , These Fruits are Cut Back Hard , Also Blackberries , Below are the Soft Fruits to Tip , Some Special Matters of Good Management , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
