The prime purpose of the Journal of the American Pomological Society is to provide a repository for information on all aspects of fruit and nut crops. The long-term emphasis of the journal on cultivars and rootstocks continues, but manuscripts reporting original research on a wide range of fruit and nut crops are welcomed. Acceptable areas of research include pruning, nutrition, growth regulators, cultural practices, economics, and pest control. Studies involving the interaction of one or more of these aspects with either cultivars and/or rootstocks are particularly appropriate.

《美國果樹學會雜志》的主要目的是為水果和堅果作物的各個方面提供一個信息庫。該雜志對品種和根莖的長期重點繼續，但報告原始研究的手稿廣泛的水果和堅果作物是受歡迎的。可接受的研究領域包括修剪、營養、生長調節劑、文化實踐、經濟學和蟲害控制。研究其中一個或多個方面與品種和/或砧木的相互作用特別合適。
