Mini-Monographs
Several STOG Mini-Monographs, describing local Suffolk fruit and nut varieties, are planned. The apple varieties widely grown in Suffolk are already described, or will be, on the FruitID website, http://www.fruitid.com. In time other species may be included too. STOG MiniMonographs are intended to fill gaps left by current literature and online data. They will also include species and varieties grown in Suffolk, but not identified as described varieties or they appear to be unique. They take various formats and include pre-existing articles, excerpts from correspondence, technical variety descriptions, and simple records of discovery; most are compilations of all these made available as sources of information. Some are in a draft version to encourage responses from readers.
Titles available soon:
- MM0: STOG names for unidentified fruit varieties.
