The Backyard Orchardist: A Complete Guide to Growing Fruit Trees in the Home Garden by C. Chambliss
Extremely helpful! Just moved to a new home and wanted to start my plants off right. This book helped me not only in the selection of my plants, but where on my property it is best to plant them, and how to properly plant them. I also learned the correct ways of pruning and fertilizing each plant. I have found this book to be an invaluable tool to a begining backyard gardener.

The Backyard Orchardist: A Complete Guide to Growing Fruit Trees in the Home GardenI found this book very thorough and informative for someone just learning about growing fruit and nut trees at home. It answered very nearly every one of my questions.

great reference on fruit trees by warchildnyc
I have about 5 books on fruit trees and this is by far the best and most comprehensive. Only drawback is that they don’t use real pictures.
