Publisher's Synopsis
Budding The Pecan is a comprehensive guide to the process of grafting and budding pecan trees, written by George Watson Oliver and first published in 1902. The book covers the history of pecan cultivation, the anatomy of the pecan tree, and the various methods of budding and grafting that can be used to propagate new trees or improve the yield of existing ones. Oliver provides detailed instructions and illustrations for each technique, as well as advice on selecting and preparing scion wood, caring for newly grafted trees, and preventing disease and pests. The book also includes information on the different varieties of pecans and their characteristics, as well as a glossary of technical terms. With its practical guidance and wealth of information, Budding The Pecan remains a valuable resource for pecan growers and horticulturalists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
