The Basics of Growing Fruit and Nut Trees on Island

On Monday, November 14, 2011, people will have a chance to ask two local experts how to grow Hard Fruit and/or Hazelnut Trees on the island. Long time growers Larry Berg and Bruce Holden will be at the Denman Seniors Lounge from 1 -3 pm, ready and willing to answer your questions. This is a FREE event sponsored by Denman WORKS!.

Topics to be covered: types suited to island growing, where to buy, planting, fertilizing, and tending.  Please note – a spring workshop will include pruning, picking, juicing, and possibly marketing. Event details will be released in early 2012.

Download the handout from the event, including growing tips and links to online resources.
