The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia
Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Food & Drink
The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia by Louis Glowinski is the go-to reference for gardeners who want to harvest everything from apples to finger limes in every climate zone Down Under. This 1997 second-edition, lavishly illustrated trade paperback packs 400 pages of hands-on guidance on selecting, planting, pruning and propagating fruit-bearing trees and shrubs.
Glowinski, a leading Australian horticulturist, blends backyard wisdom with up-to-date botanical science, making the book ideal for both hobby orchardists and serious life-long learners. Step-by-step diagrams, pest charts and regional calendars demystify topics like grafting, espalier training and organic pest control, while vivid colour plates help you identify cultivars at a glance.
The sturdy binding remains tight after decades of use, and the clean, unmarked interior comes from a smoke-free home, showing only a faint scuff on the page edges. At 45 oz and 10.3 in tall, it sits comfortably on a potting-shed shelf yet is light enough to carry around the garden for instant advice.
Collectors and practical growers alike prize this out-of-print Hachette Australia edition for its comprehensive fruit encyclopaedia and uniquely Australian perspective. Secure this illustrated copy today and enjoy a lifetime of home-grown flavour.
