Written for this climate specifically, which is the entire point of it. Tara Austen Weaver covers the Pacific Northwest on both sides of the Cascades, with the variety recommendations and chill hour notes that actually decide whether a tree sets fruit here rather than sulking for a decade. More than 75 cultivars across berries and fruit trees, each with selection, planting and organic care.

The berry half runs strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and kiwi berries, then keeps going into the ones nobody stocks: lingonberries, elderberries, currants, gooseberries and jostaberries, plus a section on wild berries. The tree half covers apples, pears, Asian pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums, then figs, persimmons and quince. Sidebars along the way on the region's historical orchards, its fruit enthusiast societies and its gleaning organizations.

The last part is what to do with a glut: more than ten master recipes with variations, for preserves and sauces, baked goods, and snacks, drinks and other preservation methods. A 224 page hardcover published by Sasquatch Books of Seattle on January 29, 2019.
