Title: Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden Popular views:96
Description   By Lee Reich, illustrated by Vicki Herzfeld Arlein

Review written by the publisher
Lee Reich provides a valuable guide to uncommon fruits and berries, which add an adventurous flavour to any garden. Though names like jujube, juneberry, maypop, and shipova may seem exotic at first glance, these fruits offer ample rewards to the gardener willing to go only slightly off the beaten path at local nurseries. Reliable even in the toughest garden situations, cold-hardy, and pest- and disease-resistant, they are as enticing to the beginner as to the advanced gardener.

This expanded sequel to the author’s celebrated 'Uncommon Fruits Worthy of Attention' offers new fruits, new varieties, and new photos and illustrations to entice the reader into an exciting world of garden pleasure.

•Expanded sequel to the author’s celebrated Uncommon Fruits Worthy of Attention offers new fruits, new varieties, and new photos and illustrations.
•Perfect for adventurous gardeners, at every level!
•Features plants which are reliable even in the toughest garden situations, cold-hardy, and pest- and disease-resistant.


Lee Reich, Ph.D., is an avid gardener who, after more than a decade in agricultural research with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Cornell University, turned to writing, lecturing, and consulting. He is a frequent speaker at many gardening events, including garden symposia and clubs, grower conferences, and Master Gardener training workshops. His books include The Pruning Book and Weedless Gardening. Lee writes regularly for Fine Gardening, Horticulture, and The New York Times, and his gardening column for Associated Press appears weekly in newspapers.
