The Complete Book of Fruit Growing in Australia by Louis Glowinski is the go-to reference for anyone who wants to harvest flavour from their own backyard. This chunky, illustrated second-edition trade paperback distils decades of hands-on experience into practical advice on choosing, planting and caring for more than 200 fruit-bearing trees, vines and shrubs suited to Australian climates.
Glowinski’s clear explanations of soil prep, pruning schedules and organic pest control make organic horticulture feel doable whether you’re a first-time planter or an established hobby farmer. Generous full-colour plates and line drawings help with quick variety identification and garden layout ideas, turning complex botany into plain language you can act on today.
Inside this gently used 1997 Hachette Australia release you’ll find clean, unmarked pages, a tight spine and no distracting creases—just a light scuff on the outer edge that keeps the price friendly while the information stays premium. At 400 pages and over two pounds, it’s built to ride along to the nursery, the potting shed or the veranda reading stack without fuss.
Add this reliable gardening companion to your home library and enjoy year-round guidance on everything from heritage apples and tropical guavas to rare citrus and bush tucker favourites.
