Harvey, I am not fond of Ashton's The Incredible Pomegranate, particularly coming out of what Judith Appelbaum refers to as a vanity press. Richard Ashton is certainly a talented grower and has produced some interesting material in the past but this book misses the mark. When I loaned the book to a colleague who teaches plant propagation and fruit cultivation at a community college, they felt that amateurs especially would be better off with a standard propagation book that mentions pomegranates along with other fruiting Rosaceaes, and the URLs to the USDA/ANL Davis accessions and Wolfskill pages.
