Eierman, who designs and manages garden and farm projects, has created an attractive, informative guide for gardeners who would like to grow fruit trees in small yards or containers. He begins with a general introduction to growing fruit trees, followed by a detailed guide to stone, pome, and citrus fruits. Each entry contains information on choosing and planting the young trees, cultural information, harvesting tips, pruning techniques, and advice on managing pests and diseases, followed by a sampling of suggested varieties with brief descriptions of each.
