The word 'nut' has the same origins as 'nutrient' and 'nourish'. Being such a nourishing food, it is not surprising then that nuts are one of the world's staples. This is a comprehensive guide to tree nuts, their propagation and cultivation (including pests and diseases), pruning and harvesting. It also covers a selection of other popular nuts, and includes a detailed explanation of Allen Golbert's pruning, budding and grafting methods. A wonderful addition to the library of gardeners and hobby farmers anywhere.
