Hi All, Looking to buy as a pressie for a very good friend a book on pruning fruit trees. He's trying to fan train a peach tree and getting very confused with things he's read on the net, etc. Something with clear diagrams would be good, any recommendations greatly received folks?? ta x

The OH has a book by the RHS's encyclopaedia of Practical Gardening called "Pruning".
It does cover more than just fruit, but the diagrams are excellent. It includes a section on peaches....
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Horticultura...43636&sr=1-8#_
Just spotted this one, although no idea how good it is....
Pruning Fruiting Plants: A Practical Gardener's Guide to Pruning and Training Tree Fruit and Soft Fruit, with Over 350 Photographs and Illustrations and Easy-to-follow Advice: Amazon.co.uk: Richard Bird: Books
P.S. if I now buy a gardening book, I know who to blame!!!!

Thanks Peas, will have a look at those.
PS, step away from the debit card....Last edited by Hans Mum; 25-06-2012, 11:36 AM.The love of gardening is a seed once sown never dies ...Comment

Too late! Several books and a lot of money later, I'm now looking forward to the end of the week when they arrive!
And not looking forward to fessing up to the OH.....
