About This Book

This work combines historical and botanical background with hands-on guidance for apple cultivation. It surveys etymology and ancient references, outlines botanical characters and species limits, discusses improvement by selection and grafting, and recounts experimental observations on propagation and hybridization. Extensive descriptive accounts of cultivars are provided, accompanied by numerous illustrations and classification aids. Practical chapters cover orchard establishment, pruning, nursery practice, pest and disease control, storage, and marketing, with particular attention to conditions and recommendations suited to western regions while remaining useful to growers elsewhere.
