Tree Fruit in the Home Landscape
The visual experience of flowering fruit trees in the home landscape is surpassed only by the delicious variety of summer and fall fruits which they produce. Growing apples, peaches, plums, pears and cherries successfully can be a horticultural challenge, but it can be done! Dr. Wes Autio, teacher, researcher, and author, will present an in-depth program on how to grow apple trees in the home landscape, with additional information on growing pears, peaches, plums, and cherries. Varieties, rootstocks, nutrition, training, and pest control will be covered.
The series of sixteen "Mass Aggie Seminars" will run from early January to mid-April, 2005. A broad and diverse range of topics will be presented, covering specifics within several areas including livestock, tree fruit, berries, vegetables, flowers, landscape plants, and turf.
