Publisher's Review
The allure of growing fruit trees

1.
The joy of growing something a little different from flowers or vegetables
Unlike flowers or vegetables, once you start growing fruit trees, you can harvest fruit for a long time.
Even after fully grown, they bear fruit for a dozen years, and some long-lived ones for close to 100 years.
Growing fruit trees that bloom and bear fruit according to the season brings a deeper pleasure as time goes by.

2.
The fragrance and taste that can only be felt from freshly picked "ripe fruit on the tree"
"Ripe fruits" that are fully ripe while still hanging on the tree are very tasty.
However, most fruits sold in the market are picked quickly to ensure long-term storage.
When grown at home, you can enjoy the aroma and taste of freshly picked fruit as it is ripe on the tree with the original flavor of the fruit condensed.

3.
Safe fruits you can eat with confidence
One of the biggest advantages of growing fruit trees at home is the use of fewer pesticides.
Commercially available fruits are often treated with a lot of pesticides to make them look better or increase productivity, but this book introduces methods for growing fruit trees with minimal pesticide use.

4.
The joy of tasting fruits that are not available commercially
Some of the fruits featured in this book are not readily available in the market.
You can grow and taste fruits that were once eaten a lot but have now disappeared, or types or varieties that are commonly eaten abroad but not produced domestically.
