Cold-hardy fruits and nuts : 50 easy-to-grow plants for the organic home garden or landscape / Allyson Levy and Scott Serrano. by Levy, Allyson. Chelsea Green Publishing, 2022. Call #: 634 L668c Subjects Fruit-culture.   Nut trees.   Fruit trees. ISBN:  9781645020455 (lib. bdg.) Alternate title:  50 easy-to-grow plants for the organic home garden or landscape Fifty easy-to-grow plants for the organic home garden or landscape Description:  372 p. : col. ill. ; 26 cm. Notes:  Allyson Levy and Scott Serrano are both exhibiting visual artists and codirectors of Hortus Arboretum and Botanical Gardens in New York’s Hudson Valley. Their garden began as a source of inspiration and raw materials for their art. Over time their interest in growing a wider selection of plants expanded until the garden encompassed eleven acres and became their primary passion. Along the way they began planting a vast diversity of plants, both edible and ornamental. This grew into an extensive collection of cold-hardy cactus, magnolia trees, viburnums, and grafted fruit trees, with a focus on rare, underutilized plants. The arboretum is now a nonprofit organization and level II arboretum. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 333-352) and index. Summary:  "This easy-to-use resource for growing delicious, resilient, and low-maintenance trees, shrubs, vines and other fruiting plants is perfect for farmers, gardeners and landscapers at every scale. Covering fifty productive, edible crops -- from arctic kiwi to jujube, medlar to heartnut --Cold Hardy Fruits and Nuts is the go-to-guide for growers interested in creating diversity in their growing spaces. While most guidebooks feature plants that are riddled with pest problems (such as apples and peaches), Levy and Serrano -- veteran growers and founders of the Hortus Arboretum and Botanical Gardens -- focus on both common and unfamiliar fruits that have few, if any, pest or disease problems and an overall higher level of resilience. Both experienced and novice gardeners who are interested in creating a sustainable landscape with a greater diversity of plant life -- while also providing healthy foods -- will find this book an invaluable resource."--From publisher.
