Will I love Taming Fruit?

This is a most gorgeous book, full of colour, history, and the blessing of fruit. From choosing not to clear bushes because they fruited, to planting the seeds, is only a short step. I learned how date palms, citrus, and others came from the East to West, planted along trade routes. Apples, pears and cherries were staples of homes with a temperate climate. We see the paintings, drawings and layouts of fruit tree production and care. The historic illustrations kept me turning pages and marvelling, going back to read the accompanying text.
