The transition begins

Tree Fruit magazine has gone digital. It is now available as a PDF that can be downloaded and/or emailed to anyone in the world.

It has also been redesigned to take advantage of the new technology and will be closely linked to this website.

Some things never change: Tree Fruit still focusses on providing the best practical information for Australian commercial fruit growers.

This website will highlight articles from Tree Fruit magazine and there are two levels of entry to the site:

• FREE - just wander throughout the site and you will find lots of interesting and relevant information from past and present issues of Tree Fruit (we are regularly adding to it)
• REGISTER - by registering you will be able to read complete feature articles without interruption.

• BUY and DOWNLOAD an issue of Tree Fruit (as a PDF) and you'll get all the images, graphs, tables and complete articles.
  • AND you can print the magazine and keep it on your desk or in your back pocket for quick reference
  • AND you can carry it around on a memory stick; in your phone; or on your tablet!
  • AND it is linked to this website where you have access to even more information (Feb 2012 onwards)
  • AND there is no need to subscribe - just buy the issue of interest!

Tree Fruit has come a long way since 1995 when it was a printed trade journal catering for Australian apple and pear growers. We have gathered an enormous amount of practical information for commercial apple, pear, stone fruit and cherry growers over the years and will present that information right here.

We will also make available back issues of the magazine (also as PDF files) for download. A couple of back issues are already available.
