Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs brings readers into the lush abundance of Sonoma County, in a story of sisters, friendship and the invisible bonds of history that are woven like a spell around us. Tess Delaney loves illuminating history; returning stolen treasures to their rightful owners and filling the spaces in people's hearts with stories of their family legacies. But Tess's own history is filled with gaps: a father she never met, and a mother who spent more time traveling than with her daughter. Then the enigmatic Dominic Rossi arrives on her San Francisco doorstep with the news that the grandfather she's never met is in a coma and that she's destined to inherit half of a hundred-acre apple orchard estate called Bella Vista. The rest is willed to Isabel Johansen, the half sister she never knew she had. Isabel is everything Tess isn't, but against the rich landscape of Bella Vista, with Isabel and Dominic by her side, Tess begins to discover a world where family comes first and the roots of history run deep.

Book Synopsis Establishing a Cider Apple Orchard for Mechanized Management by : Travis Robert Alexander
Download or read book Establishing a Cider Apple Orchard for Mechanized Management written by Travis Robert Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Washington State has been dealing with labor shortages across the agricultural sector for many years. Long-term strategies have included shifting to less labor-intensive crops and increasing investment in mechanization. For cider apple production, mechanization of pruning, thinning, and harvest requires an orchard training system that is suitable for medium-to-high- density plantings that are characterized by a planar canopy that is about two feet in width and includes long continuous rows that all allow for safe and cost-effective use of equipment. A major obstacle to mechanization has been the high upfront capital required for establishing a compatible orchard infrastructure including the purchase or leasing of equipment. Researchers at Washington State University Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (WSU NWREC) in Mount Vernon have been assessing the impact of mechanization on cider orchard profitability since 2011, evaluating fruit and cider quality as well as yield, and developing enterprise budgets. From 2014 to 2016, WSU NWREC researchers established a replicated research orchard of 65 cider apple cultivars on G935 rootstock to allow for the testing of mechanized hedgers, thinners, and harvesters, ultimately, to provide growers with this orchard management guide. This manual outlines a specific management plan for a cider apple orchard that is designed for mechanized pruning, thinning, and harvesting. This manual also provides a first-hand account of WSU NWREC researchers implementing this management plan through the establishment of a cider apple orchard under maritime climate conditions. The experiences at WSU NWREC may be especially applicable for small-scale growers, as a lower-cost, hand-held hedger was used for mechanical pruning rather than a tractor-mounted hedger.
Book Synopsis The Apple Grower by : Michael Phillips
Download or read book The Apple Grower written by Michael Phillips and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades fruit growers have sprayed their trees with toxic chemicals in an attempt to control a range of insect and fungal pests. Yet it is possible to grow apples responsibly, by applying the intuitive knowledge of our great-grandparents with the fruits of modern scientific research and innovation. Since The Apple Grower first appeared in 1998, orchardist Michael Phillips has continued his research with apples, which have been called "organic's final frontier." In this new edition of his widely acclaimed work, Phillips delves even deeper into the mysteries of growing good fruit with minimal inputs. Some of the cuttingedge topics he explores include: The use of kaolin clay as an effective strategy against curculio and borers, as well as its limitations Creating a diverse, healthy orchard ecosystem through understory management of plants, nutrients, and beneficial microorganisms How to make a small apple business viable by focusing on heritage and regional varieties, value-added products, and the "community orchard" model The author's personal voice and clear-eyed advice have already made The Apple Grower a classic among small-scale growers and home orchardists. In fact, anyone serious about succeeding with apples needs to have this updated edition on their bookshelf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the American Horticulture Society Book Award "Phillip’s first-hand knowledge anchors this innovative and highly readable book in practical wisdom that both beginner and long-time fruit growers will find invaluable."—Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia’s Garden Many people want to grow fruit on a small scale but lack the insight to be successful orchardists. As The Holistic Orchard illustrates, growing tree fruits and berries is something virtually anyone can do.

Fruit profiles include: pome fruits (apples, pears, asian pears, quinces) stone fruits (cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums) berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, gooseberries, currants, and elderberries) Phillips completely changed the conversation about healthy orcharding with his first bestselling book, The Apple Grower, and now he takes that dialogue even further by exploring: The connections between home orcharding and permaculture The importance of native pollinators Plantings with shade-tolerant berry bushes and other insectary plants Information on cover crops and biodiversity Safe, homegrown solutions to pest and disease challenges All along the way, Phillips' expertise and enthusiasm for healthy growing shines through, as does his ability to put the usual horticultural facts into an integrated ecology perspective.
