Successful Berry Growing: How to Plant, Prune, Pick and Preserve Bush and Vine Fruits

Good info. I was a little disappointed all the pretty pictures I was expecting in this book are instead black and white. Colored pics would have made for an overall more enjoyable experience. However, lots of good information! Can't wait to start berry gardening this year.

Great photos & summary of different berries for beginning growers.

The content is fantastic and will be part of my collection as I grow my garden. It could totally use an update though. Some language, while socially acceptable in the 70's, is not so much anymore. Ex. Referring to Native Americans as "Those Indians." Someone please update this gem of a book.

While this is an older book and some of it will be dated. This will effect the price values given for commercial values as well as the cultivars talked about. Beyond that this book is very well written and reads well. It flows more as a story than it does as a text book. I have found the information valuable and am confident in the information as the author is writing from first hand experience and not just rewriting information from other books.

At least change the name of the book to guy talks about berries and skips Important informational details or describes a process with jut a few words terrible

I first got acquainted with this book at my brother's camp and decided I needed my own copy for reference. It is a bit dated, but the authors experience and love for all kinds of berry bushes comes through on every page. For someone just starting out as I am, this book will become one I refer to often. The humor Mr. Logsdon weaves throughout is priceless.

This is book's sixth printing was 1977. Even though the information is over 28 years old the book is timeless. the diagrams for pruning are simple, easy to understand and easily implemented. I would definitely recommend this book as a reference to your library on growing berries!!

Oldie but goodie, this is a great little book that covers everything you need to know about growing all kinds of berries.Had this book at one time and lost it in a move, thrilled to find it used, couldn't order it fast enough.

hopefully know how to prune plants now
