The famously frigid winters make Minnesota about the last place one would expect to find fruit trees, which is the reality settlers faced when they began arriving in the mid 1800s. The determination of a handful of fruit growers who vowed to change this fate helped establish the University of Minnesota fruit breeding programme in 1878. Since then, the programme has developed over 100 hardy fruit varieties, including apples, grapes, plums, cherries, apricots, pears, and berries. In this Upper Midwest state where early settlers lamented the lack of fresh fruit, commercial orchards are now abundant and home owners include fruit trees in their gardens. In recent years, the University of Minnesota fruit breeding programme has focused on apples and grapes, yet the programme’s early work on plums effectively changed the food landscape for people in northern regions. For almost 140 years, these plum varieties have played an important role in the story of cold climate fruit production: from early settlers seeking food to survive, to today’s consumers seeking a return to locally produced food.Item Original Pollination Records from University of Minnesota Fruit Breeding Program from 1908-1922(1922) Horticultural Research CenterItem Original Pollination Records from University of Minnesota Fruit Breeding Program from 1923-1929(1929) Horticultural Research CenterItem Original Pollination Records from University of Minnesota Fruit Breeding Program from 1930-1934(1934) Horticultural Research CenterItem Original Pollination Records from University of Minnesota Fruit Breeding Program from 1935-1941(1941) Horticultural Research CenterItem Original Pollination Records from University of Minnesota Fruit Breeding Program from 1942-1949(1949) Horticultural Research CenterItem Performance and phenotype data for apple and Prunus selections(1965) Horticultural Research CenterItem Phenotype and performance information on University of Minnesota plum selections and cultivars from 1923-1926(1930) Horticultural Research Center
