The University of Florida/IFAS Extension in Manatee County is presenting a three-webinar series on cultivating fruit trees.
The first session took place on Feb. 10, but – if you missed that one, no worries! – you can sign up for the remaining sessions.
These free webinars tend to fill up fast, so if you’re interested, you might want to register soon.
The next one – on the topic of care and maintenance – is scheduled for 11 a.m. Feb. 17. The session will discuss mulching, pruning, fertilizing, and pest management. Click here to register.
The first session featured Master Gardener Volunteer John Dawson discussing what to look for when selecting trees, as well as proper planting techniques. You can watch that session on-demand by clicking here.
