Wilkinson (editor, Australian Nutgrower) presents an illustrated guide to the cultivation of tree nuts in the Australian environment. She begins with chapters on nut production worldwide, propagation, planting and managing nut orchards, organic nut production, and success in business. She then presents individual chapters on almonds, cashews, chestnuts, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts. These chapters provide information on botany, environmental requirements, flowering and pollination, orchard layout, cultivars and rootstocks, propagation, planting and management techniques, pests and diseases, harvesting, post-harvest, and marketing. A final chapter discusses a few other tree nuts. Landlinks Press is an imprint of CSIRO Publishing, which is distributed in the US by Antipodes Books & Beyond.
