I bought this book at a NAFEX meeting about 30 years ago and wore it out. Now it would cost over $100 to replace via Amazon. Free on-line libraries are great.

I tried a copy/paste and it didn’t work.

Is the book you’re talking about Training and Pruning Apple Trees by C.G. Forshey?

Closest title match I could find - it’s available as a pdf on Cornell’s ecommons.

Edit: Sorry, I see that it’s a different book (same author though, I think). Some may still find the link useful.

So weird, when I copy and paste it it works.

It’s the same book, maybe a different edition. Thank you. I edited my post so now things should be easy.

Because it is on your computer :slight_smile:

With Firefox just click on it and it opens, then select the download button.

The link I have now on the topic still doesn’t work?

Now it works, I was referring to the previous one, which was actually the address on your computer and therefore inaccessible.

It works now. The initial link was to a “c” drive location. Thanks for sharing @alan! It looks short and sweet, which for this kind of stuff is usually the best look.

Martin’s book How to Prune Fruit Trees is also very simple and a wonderful resource that @Barkslip recommended to me.
