- Fruit Breeding History, with a Focus on Apples
We want to continue digitizing data from the Horticultural Research Center (HRC). The HRC’s fruit breeding program has been responsible for many successful apple varieties, including Haralson, Zestar, Sweet Tango, and Honeycrisp. Due to the high profile of the apple breeding program, and insight from the researchers, we know that the data in print format is in demand.
