What is an apple, really, from its chemistry to its orchards to the laws that govern those who grow it? William Barnes gives the fruit a sweeping treatment, down to a history of the great Wellhouse orchards. Thorough and full of practical detail. For the orchardist and the apple lover, everything the humble fruit has to offer, root to core.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
