ABSTRACT
Book introductions usually are an author’s attempt to tell what a book is about and how it should be used, but let me begin this introduction by telling what this book is not about. It is not about providing a complete and in-depth review of all small fruits and their culture, nor is it a grower’s manual for commercial production. Rather, this book is an overview of temperate and tropical small fruits with notes on their culture. Some entries provide far more information than others simply because far more is known about the culture of some fruits than of others.
