A slow start is much better than a poor start. Harriet says that an orchard set in the right place, at the right time and of the right varieties, is worth just eleven times more than a hit-or-miss orchard. Where she secured the data for such exact figures, I do not know; but I am willing to admit that she is about right in this statement.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce you’ve followed Harriet’s advice and determined the site for your orchard, the next task is to decide what kinds of trees to plant in it and learn how to care for them season after season. \u003ci\u003eThe Biggle Orchard Book\u003c\/i\u003e includes everything you need to know about nearly every fruit tree under the sun, and also those that produce nuts.
