Uncommon Fruits Worthy of Attention: A Gardener's Guide
Lee Reich and Vicki Herzfeld Arlein (Illustrator)
This book is a guide to the
history, cultivation and propagation of exotic yet
temperate-hardy fruits for the home gardener. More than
just a reference book, Dr. Reich has given us a readable
and thoroughly enjoyable account of such interesting
fruits as pawpaw, gooseberry, medlar, persimmon, jujube,
goumi, mulberry, Asian pear, hardy kiwi, maypop, raisen
tree, currant, jostaberry, and several others. Appendices
introduce the reader to the subjects of nomenclature,
pollination, pruning, grafting, and most valuable, a list
of mail order sources for nursery stock of the fruits
included.
