Abstract

It will probably be news to many of you to learn there are edible fruits that do fairly well in certain, climatically favored parts of Alaska. One of the areas in which cultivated fruits may be grown on a small scale is the Matanuska Valley. This valley is frost free from May 15 to September 5, has a maximum temperature of 85°F, a minimum temperature of -35°F, and an annual precipitation of 15 inches. Our farm is located in this Valley.
