Corvallis, Oregon Repository

The National Clonal Germplasm Repository (NCGR) at Corvallis, Oregon, is a genebank that preserves invaluable plant genetic resources of temperate fruit, nut, and agronomic crops. This genebank maintains collections representing global diversity of hazelnuts, strawberries, hops, pears, currants, gooseberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and cranberries.

A Plethora of Pears - Good Fruit Grower - September 2012
Repository's mission is to collect, conserve, characterize and distribute.

Saving Oregon's Hazelnuts - Portland Monthly - December 2012

World's Blueberries Preserved in Unique Living Collection - May 2011
Familiar blueberries and their lesser-known wild relatives are safeguarded by USDA scientists and curators at America's official blueberry genebank.

In Praise of the Misunderstood Quince - New York Times, May 2012
What most Americans know about quince (Cydonia oblonga) — if they know about quince at all — is that it was once a fixture in Grandma's garden.
