Dwarf Fruit Trees

Waugh describes a dwarf tree as "simply one which does not reach full size... and in a technical sense...is made, by some artificial means, to grow smaller than normal trees of the same variety." He urges the general public to become "interested...and share enthusiasm" of raising these fruits. To encourage both novices and experienced growers alike, he carefully details the process of selecting, planting, pruning, maintaining, and harvesting a wide range of dwarf trees (cheery, fig, apple, apricot, plum, pear, and peach), and adds a comprehensive section on turning bush fruits (gooseberry and currant) into dwarf trees. Numerous photographs and illustrations amplify the text, including a variety of photographs of trees raised in cordon, espalier and U-forms.
