1663 1ed Fruit Trees Cultivation Botany Espalier Pruning Legendre Garden Orchard Antoine Legendre s Maniere de Cultiver les Arbres Fruitiers is a rare, mid-17th-century botanical treatise written to instruct on the proper way to cultivate fruit trees. Legendre, a priest of Hannonsville, France was responsible for creating new methods of planting apple orchards. Martha Stewart, renowned chef and cookbook author, credit s Legendre with his espalier growing method. Because sunlight reaches every piece of fruit that these trees bear, espalier pruning continues to be a standard procedure at commercial orchards in France. (Stewart, 2017) This book focuses on growing healthy fruit, keeping trees from disease, pruning branches, types of land best-suited for growing, soils, and much, much more.
