ISSUED JANUARY 1976 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C 20402 — Price $7.10 (Paper Cover) Stock Number 0100-02691 FOREWORD The study of fruit tree virus diseases is a tedious process because of the time needed to produce experimental woody plants and, often, the long interval from inoculation until the development of diagnostic symptoms. The need for cooperation and interchange of information among investigators of these diseases has been apparent for a long time. As early as 1941, a conference was called by Director V. R. Gardner at Michigan State University to discuss the problem. One result of this early conference was the selection of a committee (E. M. Hildebrand, G. H. Berkeley, and D. Cation) to collect and classify both published and unpublished data on the nomenclature, symptoms, host range, geographical distribution, and other pertinent information on stone fruit virus diseases. This information was used to prepare a "Handbook of Stone Fruit Virus Diseases in North America," which was published in 1942 as a mis- cellaneous publication of the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station. At a second conference of stone fruit virus disease workers held in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1944 under the chairmanship of Director Gardner, a Publication Committee (D.

Follow the directions and need all precautions on the labels. Store pesticides in original containers under lock and key—out of the reach of children and animals—and away from food and feed. Apply pesticides so that they do not endanger humans, livestock, crops, beneficial insects, fish, and wildlife. Do not apply pesticides when there is danger of drift, when honey bees or other' pol- linating insects are visiting plants, or in ways that may contaminate water or leave illegal resi- dues. Avoid prolonged inhalation of pesticide sprays or dusts; wear protective clothing and equipment if specified on the container. If your hands become contaminated with a pesticide, do not eat or drink until you have washed In case a pesticide is swallowed or gets in the eyes, follow the first aid treatment given on the label, and get prompt medical attention. If a pesticide is spilled on your skin or clothing, remove clothing immediately and wash skin thoroughly. Do not clean spray equipment or dump excess spray material near ponds, streams, or wells Be- cause It is difficult to remove all traces of herbicides from equipment, do not use the same equip- ment for insecticides or fungicides that you use for herbicides. Dispose of empty pesticide containers promptly. Have them buried at a sanitary land-fill dump or crush and bury them in a level, isolated place.

  • Improvement of Stone Fruits
    IMPROVEMENT OF STONE FRUITS F. P. GULLJNAN, Senior Poinologisi, Division of Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases,'linrean of Plant Indus try ^ JL HE beautiful and delicious varieties of peaches, plums, cherries, and apricots that make up the group of stone fruits as we know them today are undoubtedly vastly different from their early progenitors. Down through the centuries many wild species and varieties have been selected by man in his search for new food supplies and a better diet. Just how long this slow process of improvement of the various kinds of wild fruit has been going on, history does not relate. As civilization progressed we know that many of these wild fruits w^ere taken from their native homes and distributed to new locations where there were new soils and new climatic conditions. In these new environments certain modifications occurred in size of tree and in size, shape, color, and flavor of fruit. Many trees perished in the new environments. Perhaps only a few survived the vicissitudes of climate in some of the regions into which they were taken. Through these early chance selections, however, a beginning was made in the improvement of the stone fruits. Stone fruits are now grown in all parts of the Temperate Zone in the Northern Hemisphere. In the United States the culture, produc- tion, and sale of these fruits constitute a great industry. In 1931, the peak year of peach production, the commercial crop was over 76)^ million bushels. According to the census of 1935, the country pro- duced in the previous year about 45 million bushels of peaches, over 23 million bushels of plums, and 5 million bushels of cherries.

  • Download Cherry Growing Guide
    CHERRIES FROM THE ANDERSON’S FRUIT GROWING GUIDE BY MARK ANDERSON CHERRIES Easily one of the most beautiful blooming trees, cherries, both sweet and sour, have much more to offer than lovely blossoms. These attractive and productive trees make a great addition to any home garden, especially if grown on a dwarf root stock to limit their size. Sweet cherries tend to grow larger and most varieties require a pollinator (make sure to select wisely, as not all trees will pollinate successfully). The standard trees grow up to 30 feet tall and do best in zones where winter hours are consistently below 45 degrees to develop flowers and fruit. Sweet cherries also perform better when protected from intense heat and cold. Sour cherries are smaller, easier to grow, and self-fruitful (they also make great pollinators for sweet cherries). Not as tall as their sweet cousins, they tend to spread more laterally and max out at 12-15 feet tall. They are also more adaptable to varying climates and temperatures than sweet cherries. Most consumers usually eat sweet cherries fresh, and use sour cherries for cooking. Location: Open site in full sun, with good air circulation. Cherries do best in landscape or garden locations and not in lawn, which needs a different water and fertilizer regimen. Soil: Deep garden, loamy soil works best - well drained, not soggy. Avoid heavy clay or overly sandy soils. Planting: See attached bare root and container planting guide. Water: To ensure steady fruit development from bloom to harvest, make sure to provide regular water throughout the growing season - usually a deep watering every 5-10 days depending on heat and sun exposure.

Almonds first came into the Southwest in a delivery to Juan de Oñate at San Gabriel (near Taos) New Mexico in 1698. But it was not until 1891 that someone spotted a chance seedling in Texas with unique characteristics. It was first called Texas or Texas Prolific, but later became known as Mission, Texa or Texas Mission due to its association with old Spanish era churches. It was soon introduced to other parts of the Southwest, and its production took off on a large scale when it was introduced to Acampo, California. This heirloom has hard-shelled nuts with relatively small kernels inside—roughly 25 to 28 per ounce. The trees are prolific bearers and extremely vigorous when young, but growth and yield decline markedly with age. The tree has an upright growth habitat, and is easy to train to facilitate production, which occurs mostly on the spur branches rather than the shoots. Because it is susceptible to mallet wound canker, it is short-lived wherever this Ceratocystis infection occurs. It is also sensitive to alkaline soils and saline irrigation. Its tendency to bloom well after frost in the spring keeps it popular among dwellers in river valleys where temperature inversions freeze the blossoms of earlier blooming varieties. We believe that the almonds in the Mott Orchard of Capitol Reef National Park are Mission Almonds.

  • Cherry History It Is Not Known Where Cherries Originated From, but We Do Know They Have Been a Popular Fruit for Centuries
    Cherry History It is not known where cherries originated from, but we do know they have been a popular fruit for centuries. Cherry pits were found in Stone-Age caves across Europe. Roman conquerors were known to spread their favorite cherry varieties across Europe to Britain during the 1st century. Cherries are also an important fruit in Japan. This country has celebrated the blossoming of cherry trees for centuries. Cherries first made their way to North America by European settlers in the 1600s. Later, French settlers planted cherry pits they had brought from Normandy throughout the Great Lakes region. It was not until the 1850s when cherry farming really started. A Presbyterian missionary planted a number of cherry trees in Michigan that flourished due to the ideal cherry-growing weather: cold winters and cool summers. After that success, cherry orchards were planted across Michigan and cherry production increased. Varieties Sweet and tart are the two types of cherries grown. Each of them has many different varieties available for purchase. The most common sweet cherry variety is the Bing cherry. This cherry originated in Oregon and received its name from the Chinese workers on the cherry farm. The Montmorency cherry is the most popular tart cherry variety. This cherry is popular for eating and making pies, preserves, and juice. Most of the tart cherries grown in the US are from Michigan, but Wisconsin does produce a large crop. Fun Facts Michigan produces 75 percent of the tart cherries grown in the US. Oregon and Washington produce over 60 percent of the US sweet cherries.
