Grafting Fruit Trees: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-35 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin)

This book is concise and to the point with great information and illustrations that make sense. Lots of good information in this book without giving you things that muddle the learning process

Easy to understand and well illustrated

Book is little dated

No mention of citrus, which is disappointing because that's what I'm most interested in grafting but understandable given the climate where the author lives. Also, there are a good deal of typos and misspellings throughout the book along with a few improperly labelled figures. The techniques are also somewhat outdated when it comes to graft sealing. The book was seems to be written before grafting tape was in common use and so it is not recommend. Thus the author relies heavily on wax and rubber sealants instead. It's not a bad introduction to grafting for $3 but if you're looking for modern techniques or citrus specifics, you won't find it.

Arrived in reasonable time.Delivery people didn't do well (Bent it). Diagrams offered. Haven't tried any info yet. Some things don't seem as clear it seems it could be, but hoping that it will be clearly once I start working on this project; am interested in the other brochures.

Booklet length, assumes knife for grafting. Does not cover the latest grafting machines.

tried grafting using techniques from the pamphlet this spring with some success.

You can get this good information on the internet for free, but not in an easy to read book form. It is nice to have a book when you are working. Small, compact size, not a bunch of 8X10 papers stapled together. Buy it!

A very useful synthesis of all that a budding (sorry!) grafter needs to know before they start out, explaining optimal timings, the pros and cons of different techniques, and advice re suitable varieties for different growing conditions, produce requirements and grafting compatibility. Its just a small book that can be read in a couple of evenings, but one for dipping back into as required and as your grafting prowess develops.

Well it looks pretty good information in it and found out where I went wrong with my grafting will try again to get the grafts to grow

This is a great little book, to the point can be read quickly without spending ages trawling through non relevant data.What I particularly liked was page 12 when to graft and bud which I found particularly useful. The only slight moan is that the book is set for America rather than England but it still aligns with this country.

ok

I have added this little book to my library of orchard care books, makes a good small book to refer to out in the orchard!
