I was delighted when I discovered this
gem on a visit to Schlabach's Nursery in Medina, New York, who will be one of
our new suppliers. I frequently
get asked for advice on fruit growing for beginners, but the regular
horticulture books just don't seem to fit the bill for the "newbie". This is the best
resource that I have found that meets the needs of the gardener and will be
useful for new, beginning orchardists too!
"Backyard Fruit Production" is a concise, informative, and simple
guide to fruit growing success for both homeowners or beginning
orchardists. It is written in a comfortable style by a successful Amish orchardist and nurseryman,
David Schlabach, who with his family and community lives close to God and in harmony with nature. Highly useful and
educational for novices, as well as the more experienced.
Dr. Robert Anderson, professor emeritus at Cornell University
commented that "as a former horticulture professor, I stand in awe of this
simple, readable presentation of the principles of fruit growing." 
"Backyard Fruit Production"
offers practical lessons and sound advice:
-
teaches proper planting methods
-
simplifies pruning into a set of easy to remember
techniques
-
contains distinct charts for disease and pest control
-
features both conventional and organic approaches
-

from apricots
to raspberries

illustrations
by Amish farmer Daniel Miller
