Landscaping With FruitLandscaping With FruitLee Reich Storey Publishing, 2009 There is a lot of good stuff in here! Along with cultural guides for fruit trees, bushes, and vines, there are neat design ideas too. The one that jumped out at me—which I’d love to reproduce in my own garden one day—is a row of dwarf espaliered fruit trees grown so that branches crisscross in an x pattern. Reich gardens in the US, and some of the plants grow in warmer climates than here in Toronto—but much of the content is relevant to our climate. What I really like is that he highlights little-known fruits such as medlar—and he even tells readers how to “blet” their medlars. Don’t forget to check out No Guff Vegetable Gardening.
