Cold-Hardy Fruits and Nuts: 50 Easy-to-Grow Plants for the Organic Home Garden or Landscape

English

By (author): Allyson Levy Scott Serrano

Named one of the best gardening books for 2023 by Gardens Illustrated

An Irish Times Best Gardening Book 2023

2023 GardenComm Media Awards Silver Laurel Medal of Achievement

The ideal, easy-to-use resource for growing healthy, resilient, low-maintenance trees, shrubs, vines and other fruiting plants from around the world perfect for farmers, gardeners and landscapers at every scale.

Illustrated with more than 200 colour photographs and covering 50 productive edible crops from Arctic kiwi to jujebe, medlar to heartnut this is the go-to guide for growers interested in creating diversity in their growing spaces.

Cold-Hardy Fruits and Nuts is a one-stop compendium of the most productive, edible fruit-and nut-bearing crops that push the boundaries of what can survive winters in cold-temperate growing regions. While most nurseries and guidebooks feature plants that are riddled with pest problems (such as apples and peaches), veteran growers and founders of the Hortus Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, Allyson Levy and Scott Serrano, focus on both common and unfamiliar fruits that have few, if any, pest or disease problems and an overall higher level of resilience.

Inside Cold-Hardy Fruits and Nuts youll find:

  • Taste profiles for all fifty hardy fruits and nuts, with notes on harvesting and uses
  • Plant descriptions and natural histories
  • Recommended cultivars, both new and classic
  • Propagation methods for increasing plants
  • Nut profiles including almonds, chestnuts, walnuts and pecans
  • Fertilisation needs and soil/site requirements
  • And much more!

 With beautiful and instructive colour photographs throughout, the book is also full of concise, clearly written botanical and cultural information based on the authors years of growing experience. The fifty fruits and nuts featured provide a nice balance of the familiar and the exotic: from almonds and pecans to more unexpected fruits like maypop and Himalayan chocolate berry. Cold-Hardy Fruits and Nuts gives adventurous gardeners all they need to get growing.

Both experienced and novice gardeners who are interested in creating a sustainable landscape with a greater diversity of plant life while also providing healthy foods will find this book an invaluable resource.

If you are an edible gardener interested in widening the scope of what you grow, or a designer looking to explore where edible perennials meet the ornamental, this book will serve you very well indeed. Gardens Illustrated

About Allyson LevyScott Serrano

Allyson Levy and Scott Serrano are both exhibiting visual artists and codirectors of Hortus Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in New Yorks Hudson Valley. Their garden began as a source of inspiration and raw materials for their art. Over time their interest in growing a wider selection of plants expanded until the garden encompassed eleven acres and became their primary passion. Along the way they began planting a vast diversity of plants both edible and ornamental. This grew into an extensive collection of cold-hardy cactus magnolia trees viburnums and grafted fruit trees with a focus on rare underutilized plants. The arboretum is now a nonprofit organization and level II arboretum.
