Dr. Pellett's research emphasizes breeding, genetics, and adaptability of landscape plants. Current research activities include breeding of cold hardy
deciduous azaleas, viburnums, red maple, honeysuckle, and other woody plants; propagation of difficult-to-propagate species; and inheritance of cold
acclimation and relationship of the acclimation/deacclimation process to environmental conditions. He has also researched and published extensively
on cultural practices concerning landscape plants and the relationship of a micro-environment to the growth of woody plants.
