PR-832: 2023 Fruit and Vegetable Crops Research Report

Daniel Becker, Maya Horvath, Rachel Rudolph, Ginny Travis, Dwight Wolfe | Dec. 5, 2023 (New)

This report is a bit different from previous reports in that it represents two years' worth of work. It is also smaller than the reports of previous years. In 2021, a tornado destroyed much of our research center in Princeton, KY, and in 2022, a flood destroyed much of our research center in Quicksand, KY. Although both locations are rebuilding as quickly as they can, research trials have been hindered. We hope to have more trials and more reports in the future. Research was conducted by University of Kentucky faculty, staff, and students from the Department of Horticulture, as well as faculty and staff of Kentucky State University.

HO-82: Rootstocks for Kentucky Fruit Trees

Daniel Becker, John Strang, Dwight Wolfe, Shawn Wright | Oct. 15, 2019 (Major Revision)

Most fruit trees that can be grown in Kentucky do not come true from seed. For example, a tree grown from a Golden Delicious apple seed will produce an apple tree, but the fruit will have different characteristics than Golden Delicious in color, taste, and shape. This is why fruit trees are reproduced by asexual propagation, such as budding and grafting.
