Description

Viticulture (1973) by F. Berrysmith (Horticultural Advisory Officer Ministry of Agriculture and Fishers, Auckland, New Zealand). 'The first grape vines were planted in New Zealand at Kerikeri in 1819 and later at Waimate, by a missionary, the Reverend Samuel Marsden. James Busby, a notable pioneer of viticulture in Australia, planted vines at Waitangi when he came to the Bay of Islands in 1833 as official British Resident. In the South Island early French settlers established some vineyard plots at Akaroa. In 1898 the Government established an agricultural experimental station at Te Kauwhata, which later directed investigations mainly into growing fruit trees and grapevines. This Station eventually specialised in experimental work in viticulture and wine making and over the years, has distributed many thousands of cuttings of stock and scion varieties.' From the Introduction of this small booklet.
