Book Reviews of Landscaping With Fruit: Strawberry ground covers, blueberry hedges, grape arbors, and 39 other luscious fruits to make your yard an edible paradise. (A Homeowners Guide)
Book Review: Amazing resource!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most fantastic books I have thus far added to my permaculture library. Beautiful photos, stellar information, and buckets of inspiration! As a sustainably-minded land owning family just in the first stages of our permaculture/forest garden designing, this book is immensely helpful in selecting the fruit plants that will provide for us for years (and lifetimes!) to come! The beginning of the book is a lovely treatise on design, and the rest of the book offers a beautiful description of each plant, including the plant's USDA Cold Hardiness Zones and AHS Heat Zones, in addition to information regarding the general hardiness of the plants, what care (if any) they might require and whether or not this care is 'by personal preference' or 'necessary to the survival/thriving of the plant,' and what types of soil and conditions the plants can withstand. The flavors of the fruits are also described and rated - a helpful feature for those of us who have not sampled all of the varieties contained therein - in addition to the yield one might expect per plant. The design features of each fruit plant are discussed as well, including any striking design elements of a particular plant, such as bright fall foliage and flower color. Also are listed the different varieties of each fruit plant, some of which are adapted to wider or smaller climate ranges - very helpful for the harsh, high mountain region in which my family resides. I have nothing but praise to give for this book - I have already ordered several of his other books to add to my library!
