A fruit garden for tomorrow

For the last twenty-five years, Robert Kran has been experimenting with a wide range of fruit trees in his Corsican orchard: serviceberry, asimino, feijoa, jujube, Sichuan pepper, pistachio, yuzu, kapok… over 40 species are presented and classified according to their ability to adapt: robust, those more delicate or varieties to be restricted to a

mild climate. The beautiful photos and exotic names are in themselves an invitation to travel, but the technical aspects of successfully growing these little-known fruit trees are of course the heart of the book. By following the advice given in this book, you too can try to acclimatise the species best suited to the soil and climate of your region. Don’t give up in the face of climate change, but make the most of plants’ incredible capacity for adaptation and resilience – that’s the life lesson of this humble explorer of the future, a joyful and enthusiastic lover of life.
