Who doesn't dream of harvesting nuts from their own garden and being able to enjoy fat- and protein-rich food from their own backyard? The nut grower's handbook shows that it is entirely possible to grow nuts almost everywhere in the Nordics, regardless of which growing zone you are in.
The book covers nearly 50 different species of nut trees and hundreds of named varieties that are worth growing in northern climates. The detailed growing and care advice includes everything you need to succeed with your plants and the propagation chapter gives tips on how to get more nut trees without going broke.
The Nut Grower's Handbook provides background on how each type of nut has been used throughout the ages and how to best harvest, store and crack the nuts. The book's extensive recipe section offers many ideas on how the nuts can be used in the diet. Several dishes have ancient origins and deserve to be rediscovered, with hickory milk, walnut miso, ginkgo cream, pickled green walnuts, acorn tofu and pine nut porridge being just a few examples. Even you who are nut allergic can find tips on how you might still be able to enjoy some nuts.
Philipp Weiss, the author of Skogsträdgården: grow edibles everywhere (Garden Book of the Year 2018) and Perennial vegetables: discover, grow, enjoy (2016) lives in Stjärnsund in southern Dalarna, where he and his family grow berries, fruit and nuts in four different places. He regularly teaches and lectures throughout the Nordics about forest gardens, perennial crops and nut farming. In The Nut Grower's Handbook, he generously offers his knowledge based on his own cultivation experiences, countless study visits to nut growers throughout northern Europe and, not least, extensive literature studies. The book's clear list of sources with over 700 references invites you as a reader to delve further into the exciting world of beef farming.
