On a trip to this area in 1894 my Great Great Grandfather purchased some apples from a local grower. Remembering them to be extremely tasteful, he returned the following year, purchased the farmers land and started his first orchard. “I worked side by side with my father learning everything he had to offer. My father passed away in 2006 and mother retired in 2009 making me the 5th generation of Small’s to run the orchard. It wasn’t as easy as my parents made it look but my wife Renee and I keep learning everyday how to provide our customers with the same quality that the generations before me have given.

  • Crop Profile for Pumpkins in Tennessee
    Crop Profile for Pumpkins in Tennessee Prepared: December, 2001 Revised: July, 2002 General Production Information Tennessee’s national ranking in pumpkin production fluctuates annually often competing for third place with other states and falling as low as seventh place. States producing similar acreage as Tennessee include Illinois, New York, and California. Tennessee's contribution to the national pumpkin production is approximately thirteen percent of total national production. Pumpkins generate approximately $5 million dollars in Tennessee's economy. Approximately 4,000 acres were planted in Tennessee during 2001 and approximately 3,500 acres were harvested. A typical yield per acre averages from 800 to 1,200 marketable pumpkins per acre and varies, depending on type planted. Pumpkins are the most popular vegetable in the cucurbit group (mostly Cucurbita argyrosperma), which includes gourds and summer and winter squashes. The majority of pumpkins grown in Tennessee are grown for ornamental purposes. Cultural Practices Site Selection: Pumpkins produce the best yields and quality on well drained, fertile soils. Seeding Rates: Commonly 1 to 3 pounds per acre but varies with seed size, seeds per hill and row spacings. Planting: Planted at 12' x 12' apart or 10' x 10' apart for large vigorous vine types. Smaller vine types are successfully grown at an 8' x 8' spacing. Spray rows are added for tractor passage for pesticide application and harvest. Pumpkins are planted when soil temperature is 65 degrees at 4 to 6 inch depth around June 15 until July 10. Fertility: There are two common pumpkin production systems used in Tennessee. These include conventional tillage techniques and plastic culture, while less than 5% of total production utilizes minimum tillage techniques.

  • Buffalo Gourd (Family Cucurbitaceae, Cucurbita Foetidissima)
    Buffalo Gourd (Family Cucurbitaceae, Cucurbita foetidissima) By Gerald R Noonan PhD May 2013 © May 2013 Buffalo Gourds are a common sight along the trails near the San Pedro House and in many other parts of SPRNCA. They grow as a prostate vine that spreads along the ground and may grow up to 20 feet long. The leaves are relatively large, up to approximately a foot in length, grayish green above and whitish beneath. The triangular shaped leaves have fine teeth along the margins and are born on relatively long stalks. During approximately May to August, yellow flowers appear. They are funnel shaped, five-lobed, about 4 inches long, and have the basic ribbed and with veins. The flowers open very early in the day and are pollinated by bees. Pollinated flowers each produce a gourd that is approximately 4 inches long, round, and predominantly dark green but with light stripes. The gourds eventually mature to an even yellow color and with continued exposure to the sun become whitish in appearance. Buffalo Gourds are perennial, die back in the winter, and then grow back from the large root when weather becomes warmer. The triangular shaped leaves distinguish this plant from the other two gourd producing species of vines that occur in SPRNCA. Finger-leaved Gourds differ by having central silvery white markings on the tops of the five narrow fingerlike segments of each leaf. Melon Loco plants differ by having leaves that are roundish or kidney shaped, approximately 2-6 inches wide, and with irregular jagged edges or pleats. Buffalo Gourds occur in roadsides and in dry or sandy areas.

  • A High-Density Linkage Map and QTL Mapping of Fruit-Related Traits in Pumpkin (Cucurbita Moschata Duch.)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A high-density linkage map and QTL mapping of fruit-related traits in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Received: 7 June 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Duch.) Published: xx xx xxxx Yu-Juan Zhong1,2, Yang-Yang Zhou1,2, Jun-Xing Li1,2, Ting Yu3, Ting-Quan Wu1,2, Jian-Ning Luo1, Shao-Bo Luo1,2 & He-Xun Huang1 Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is an economically worldwide crop. Few quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were reported previously due to the lack of genomic and genetic resources. In this study, a high- density linkage map of C. moschata was structured by double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing, using 200 F2 individuals of CMO-1 × CMO-97. By fltering 74,899 SNPs, a total of 3,470 high quality SNP markers were assigned to the map spanning a total genetic distance of 3087.03 cM on 20 linkage groups (LGs) with an average genetic distance of 0.89 cM. Based on this map, both pericarp color and strip were fned mapped to a novel single locus on LG8 in the same region of 0.31 cM with phenotypic variance explained (PVE) of 93.6% and 90.2%, respectively. QTL analysis was also performed on carotenoids, sugars, tuberculate fruit, fruit diameter, thickness and chamber width with a total of 12 traits. 29 QTLs distributed in 9 LGs were detected with PVE from 9.6% to 28.6%. It was the frst high-density linkage SNP map for C. moschata which was proved to be a valuable tool for gene or QTL mapping.
