The organic orchard. Trees and shrubs. Plant, care for, prune, propagate, restore...
All the advice you need for a healthy orchard!
Apples, pears, cherries, apricots, peaches, walnuts, redcurrants, blackcurrants... It's not so difficult to make room for them in the garden!
You don't need a large plot of land to enjoy the luxury of growing your own organic orchard, with the promise of delicious fruit to be picked straight from the tree and enjoyed fresh and succulent! All you need is a patch of lawn, a corner of the vegetable garden, a hedge to expand, a path to mark out, a wall to dress...
This well-illustrated book covers everything you need to know about organic fruit tree care - planting, propagation, management, care and harvesting - as well as restoring an old orchard, installing trees in town...
22 species are described in detail, each with details of their specific management, diseases and pests, and of course a choice of varieties. Rarer or lesser-known species are also included.
This book is the new, updated and expanded edition of Fruitiers au jardin bio, originally published in 2007.
