All Meyer Lemons Are My Children Chester Roistacher

In my book, All Meyer lemons are my children, I share the story of the research leading to how we gave a fever to a Meyer lemon bud-stick to rid itself of a virus. Of interest, the technology for this thermo-therapy came from a Chinese scientist, Professor Lin Kung-Hsiang, and by my honoring him during a lecture given in Wuhan China in 1982 and by giving him due credit for his pioneering research on thermo-therapy, I had liberated him and his family from the difficult suppressions during the days of the 'Cultural Revolution' in China where he had suffered much. This is my story of the Meyer Lemon.
