A LibriVox Listener
Loved the book and thanks to all readers!
Very informative
Jason K
Some of the readers weren't the best and at the first I thought it was a not so informed writer pushing dwarf trees but he did cover the downsides and informed the listener on a wife range of valuable ifnormstion.
Good info, not sure how old this book is, but the prices named for saplings see…
