A Book Written For Aussies I ordered this book thinking it would be a good reference for growing nut trees. I didn't know until after I received the book in the mail, that it was actually written for Australia. The climate, zoning, measurements, and instructions were designed for the Aussie grower. It would actually be a pretty good book if I lived there, but since I live in North America, I don't think it would really work that well for me. So I returned it.. This book is written primarily for commercial nut growers, This book is written primarily for commercial nut growers, and didn't have a lot of information that would be helpful to small/home orchards.. Deceiving title! I thought this book is about growing bigger cojones. Turns out it's about growing walnuts down under. Flagrant false advertisement!
