From cultivation to processing
The challenges of berry cultivation are often the same in both home and commercial orchards. This book offers comprehensive basic information for getting started in commercial berry cultivation and makes the knowledge from the professional sector applicable for hobby growers too. The experienced quartet of authors provides state-of-the-art information on varieties, planting and cultivation of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, gooseberries, cultivated blueberries, cranberries, lingonberries, elderberries, chokeberries and Mayberries (Haskap). The authors focus on dessert fruit, although they also describe two economically important types of processed fruit – elderberries and chokeberries – in terms of pruning, fertilization, irrigation and harvesting. In addition to information on cultivation practice, extensive home gardening tips and various care instructions, the book also offers recipe ideas. The detailed chapters on organic berry cultivation and weather and frost protection are also valuable.
