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.
