Improve your orchard by learning what really makes trees thrive.
This book examines how soil, planting, and after‑care shapes fruit yields and tree health, and why old practices may not be best.
In clear, practical terms, it weighs the long-running debate about cultivation versus seeding down to grass. It explains how keeping roots near the surface, avoiding deep disturbance, and using mulches or carefully managed grazing can influence vigor and fruitfulness. The text also compares the effects of cultivating vs. allowing sod, and discusses how to balance root health with moisture retention as trees age.- Understand how surface soil, root depth, and mulch affect tree feeding and fruit production.
- Explore the argument for continued cultivation vs. seeding to grass after bearing begins.
- Get guidance on when to plow, mulch, or graze to protect roots and improve yields.
- See real‑world observations from multiple orchards and experienced growers.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
