Twenty-Eight Years of Testing Tree-Fruit Varieties at the Cheyenne Horticultural Field Station, Cheyenne, Wyoming: Ars 34-39; October 1962 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into a fascinating experiment conducted at the Cheyenne Horticultural Field Station in Wyoming, documenting the results of a thirty-year study on the adaptation of tree-fruit varieties to the challenging climate of the central Great Plains. The author, a leading researcher in horticulture, uses a wealth of data and detailed observations to paint a picture of the trials and tribulations involved in growing fruit trees in a semi-arid region known for its harsh winters, late spring frosts, and short growing season. The book places this research within a broader historical context, acknowledging the long-standing interest in cultivating fruit trees in the Great Plains and highlighting earlier attempts at variety testing and adaptation. The author’s work builds upon this legacy, providing valuable insights into the challenges and successes of growing apples, plums, cherries, and pears in a region where commercial tree-fruit production has historically been limited. The book goes beyond simply documenting the experiment’s findings, exploring the complex interplay of factors that affect fruit tree survival and productivity. The author’s analysis delves into the role of factors like bloom timing, fruit-bud hardiness, pollination, and disease resistance in determining the success of different varieties. The book also examines the changing cultural landscape of fruit consumption and its impact on the importance of home fruit gardens. This book offers a compelling glimpse into the scientific and practical aspects of fruit tree cultivation in a demanding environment, revealing valuable insights into the resilience of certain varieties and the challenges of growing fruit trees in the face of climate and cultural change.
