Gas the Trees for Uniform Crops Aims at Early Bloom
Daniel Glenn Sorber and Marston H Kimball of the USDA have patented a method to gas fruit trees with butylene to force uniform fruiting. Trees are enclosed in tents and exposed to a precise gas mix before budding, with temperatures between 60 and 100 degrees F for one to two hours. The process seeks to offset winter frosts and reduce annual production fluctuations in walnuts peaches and other deciduous fruits.
