His seminal work, 'The Nut Culturist: A Treatise on the Propagation, Planting and Cultivation of Nut-Bearing Trees and Shrubs Adapted to the Climate of the United States', illustrates the depth of his knowledge and passion for pomology, the science of growing fruit. The book, originally published in 1896, is a comprehensive guide that reflects Fuller's ardent research and practical experience in nut tree cultivation. His writing style is a harmonious blend of meticulous research and accessible prose, which allows both amateur and professional growers to benefit from his extensive insights. Fuller's dedication to horticulture and his desire to share his understanding with a broader audience have made his work a lasting reference in the field of nut cultivation. Academics and practitioners alike continue to cite Fuller's book for its thorough approach to topics such as selection, breeding, and care of various nut species tailored to the varied climates of the United States.
