Apples of North America: A Celebration of Exceptional Varieties Paperback - 2021

by Tom Burford


From the publisher

"For all of us who cherish the apple, its utility, its flavors, and its powers of revelation and connection." --Adrian Higgins, garden columnist, The Washington Post The apple is one of the most iconic fruits, traditionally picked on cool fall days and used in pies, crisps, ciders, and more. And there is a vast world of varieties that goes well beyond the common grocery store offerings. With names like American Beauty, Carter's Blue, and Fallawater, and flavors ranging from sweet to tart, this treasure trove of unique apples is ripe for discovery. There is no better guide through this tasty world than Tom Burford, whose family has grown apples in the Blue Ridge Mountains since 1715. His celebratory book Apples of North America is brimming with beautiful portraits of heirloom and modern apples of merit, each accompanied by distinguishing characteristics and common uses. You will also find information on growing apples at home--with specifics on planting, pruning, grafting, and more--and instructions on how to preserve apples through pressing, fermenting, cooking, and drying.

From the rear cover

Beyond the predictable grocery store displays is a world of apples few have ever explored. In Apples of North America, fifth-generation apple grower Tom Burford shares portraits of little-known but delicious varieties--from American Beauty to Yellow Bellflower, in flavors sweet to spicy to tart. You'll learn how best to grow apples at home--including planting and pruning--plus ways to preserve harvests through pressing, fermenting, cooking, and drying. Whether as a snack, an ingredient, or a garden addition, the apple is a national treasure. Let this remarkable guide show you new reasons to make it your favorite fruit.
