Michael Phillips' apple book has been a modest success, selling 20,000 copies since its publication by Chelsea Green in 1998. The exciting news is that this classic orcharding book has been fully revised and expanded! This time around The Apple Grower comes in full color with many practical charts and surprising new features.
As one friend said, The Apple Grower is a full-fledged college course on holistic orcharding in its own right, and certainly worth every penny of its $40 cover price.
This definitive guide to growing apples wisely, naturally, and with gentler impact on the earth covers all the cultural points of apple growing. Michael's personal voice and clear-eyed advice have already made The Apple Grower a classic among small-scale growers and home orchardists. In fact, anyone serious about succeeding with apples needs to have this updated edition on their bookshelf.

" Organic fruit can indeed be grown anywhere,"
says our Lost Nation orchardist.
"This is a book I'd love to have written -- the best source available of all the best information on growing healthy apples."
" The Apple Grower will set the standards for organic growers for many years to come. This book raises the difficult questions and answers them honestly. Michael Phillips is a prolific and captivating writer who has walked the walk through his trees." Steve Page,
author of The Orchard Almanac
"The lure of the apple has been the undoing of many a would-be fruit gardener. But with experience comes wisdom, and nowhere has this wisdom been more generously and articulately revealed than in the pages of this book."
Roger Swain,
science editor for Horticulture magazine
"Michael Phillips bridges the small but precarious chasm between organic and IPM apple growing. This book is full of facts, lore, and a lot of heart and soul."
