Synopsis :

Home Orchard, Second Edition delivers expanded, research-backed guidance for today's backyard orchardists. This vital reference for fruit growers has been significantly expanded with enhanced coverage of figs and persimmons, comprehensive nut crop sections (almonds, walnuts, pecans, chestnuts, filberts, pistachios) and expanded integrated pest management guidance.

The book guides you through site selection, variety choice, orchard design, irrigation systems, fertilization, training and pruning techniques, and advanced grafting and budding methods. Updated content includes modern rootstock recommendations, water-efficient irrigation technologies, and climate adaptive practices reflecting nearly two decades of new research.

Troubleshooting chapters help you diagnose common problems like failure to bear and physiological disorders, giving you the confidence to find solutions. Understand tree biology, growth cycles, and the science behind the recommendations--empowering informed decisions for your unique conditions.

Honoring the legacy of late UC Cooperative extension advisor Chuck Ingels, this second edition provides everything serious home orchardists need for decades of productive, sustainable fruit and nut growing--whether you're planting your first tree or maintaining an established orchard.
