This resource, created by the eXtension Community of Practice (e), is an effort to provide research-based information about rootstocks, cultivars and production information to industry professionals, extension educators, master gardeners and home growers. e is comprised of a nationwide group of professionals with expertise in apple production. All of the states involved have an apple industry, and all have an interset in assisting the apple industry’s sustainability. The information may also prove useful for extension personnel, home owners, and Master Gardeners. Expertise within e includes rootstock selection, cultivar selection, integrated pest management, plant pathology, orchard management, and education. Most individuals possess more than one expertise area, and expertise areas may overlap, allowing for overall strength in numerous knowledge areas. Many members of e have collaborated in the past on research and extension efforts. e intends to be inclusive with other disciplines to promote broad educational efforts. Several stakeholders indicated their desire to see the formation of e, including numerous state and regional fruit grower associations. All content is collaboratively authored and reviewed by our community of professionals with expertise in pomology and related disciplines.
