Recommended Varieties for Fruit Production in the Home Garden
The University of Arkansas has a rich heritage in fruit breeding. The effort
was begun by Dr. James N. Moore , Distinguished Professor Emeritus in 1964. This
effort continues under the direction of Dr. John R. Clark, Professor.
The program has released 14 blackberry, seven grape, two blueberry, three
strawberry, five processing peach, three nectarine, one fresh-market peach, one
dwarf ornamental nectarine and three ornamental peach varieties.
The program continues today with emphasis on these crops. The program is
based at the Fruit Research Station at Clarksville , with testing of developments at
the Southwest Research and Extension Center in Hope and the Arkansas
Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Fayetteville .
Output from the fruit breeding and fruit variety testing programs
is used to develop lists of recommended fruit varieties for
commercial fruit growers and homeowners in Arkansas. Select from the
menu the type of fruit you would like to grow to find the fruit
varieties recommended for use in homeowner plantings.
