Anita Azarenko, Oregon State University, and co-host of the 1998 NE-183/NC-140 Annual Meetings, shows NE-183 scientists a sweet cherry cultivar/training trial at the Lewis-Brown Farm. The trial consists of sweet cherry selections from Dr. Frank Kappel of the Agriculture Canada Research Station in British Columbia. Note the wide crotch angles between leader and lateral branches achieved by tying the branches 'down' with string. |
