Does anybody know what cultivars were available in the US over 50 years ago?
Wild guesses, anybody?
update: someone was nice enough to turn me on to an old book, circa 1963, titled
"A History of Subtropical Fruits and Nuts in California".
It's available for download from:
http://websites.lib.ucr.edu/agnic/bu...utterfield.pdf
It's about 15MB in size & a very informative read. (for California folks, at least).
