New York Growers
Talk Stones, Pits
GENEVA, N.Y. Fruit grow
ers met on the shores of Seneca
Lake in Geneva, N.Y. to talk pits,
cast out the stone in "stone fruits,”
and make some waves.
The eager gathering of 96 parti
cipants from across New York,
Pennsylvania, and the Niagara
Peninsula were attending the first
ever New Yoik Stone Fruit School
hosted by Cornell University,
March 16-17. One of the high
lights of the two-day events was
the launching of a new growers’
association for stone fruit growers
in New York and neighboring
slates. The association is as yet
unnamed.
“The growers are looking for a
more consumer-friendly name for
their fruits,” said grower Jim Bitt
ner. who led the participants in
discussing the values they will get
from their new association.
“Growers feel that stone fruits
does not convey to most people
what they produce. They arc open
to suggestions."
The stone fruit industry refers
to peaches, plums, nectarines,
apricots, and sweet and sour cher
ries as stone fruits because of their
hard pits. But “stone” is counter
intuitive to consumers, who are
more apt to thing of the fruits as
soft, smooth, juicy, and tender.
Stone fruits are grown for fresh
consumption and processing mar

keis. When ripe, the fruit tends to
bruise if shipped long distances,
so stone fruits are particularly
well-suited for local niche markets
and regional consumption said ex
tension pomologist Bob Ander
sen, who organized this unique
school.
‘The highlight for me was that
so many growers would come out
to learn more about growing stone
fruit,” said Bittner, who is the
managing partner of Singer Farms
in Appleton, N.Y. He farms 500
acres of fruit, half of which is de
voted to stone fruits and half of
which is devoted to apples. "With
the future of apples not as rosy as
it was a few years ago, most of us
are looking at the possibility of
planting some more stone fruit”
The reports of large apple plant
ings in the Northwest, California,
and China have some growers
concerned about the future of the
New York apple industry. But the
fact that consumers are becoming
more quality conscious enhances
growers’ optimism that there will
be an increased demand for local
ly produced soft fruits that arc har
vested at optimum maturity.
Grower Steve Clarke felt an
“aura of excitement and opti
mism” at the meeting, and came
away with this message: “Find the
market before you plant the tree.”
