Pomology, Walnuts and Olives

Pomology is the  science of growing, storing, and processing fruit. In 2011 fruit and nut production made up 42% of the county's agricultural production.  This area is the largest component of San Joaquin County's agricultural commodities.  In 2011, walnuts ranked 3rd and cherries were ranked 6th in the "top 10" county commodities.

My research work also includes walnut and olive production.
