We are very fortunate to have Karen Palmer, Washington State University, Master Gardener join us to present and discuss “Backyard Fruit Trees”. In this presentation you will discover “the good, the bad, and the ugly” of growing your own tree fruit. Whether you inherited a few fruit trees with a new home or are thinking of planting some, get the knowledge to make important decisions as you move forward. You will learn which kind of fruit trees are easier to maintain West of the Cascades, what major diseases and pests will be a factor and how to control them naturally, how much time and effort will be required to grow a healthy crop, winterization tips and more.
Karen has been a WSU Clark County Master Gardener since 2000. She is active on project topics including vegetable gardening, small fruits, and tree fruits. Karen is a regular volunteer in the Answer Clinic, providing help to residents on all their gardening needs and is an integral member of the Master Gardener Foundation plant sale team growing vegetable plants for the annual plant sale.”
