LAKEPORT, Calif. – The UC Master Gardeners of Lake County will host a workshop on bareroot fruit trees on Wednesday, Jan. 2.

“Buying Bareroot Fruit Trees: What you need to know to make the right choice” will be held beginning at 1 p.m. at the Lake County Agricultural Center, 883 Lakeport Blvd., Lakeport.

Growing fruit successfully in Lake County starts with knowing what to look for when buying a fruit tree.

There are many things to consider, starting with your specific microclimate and growing conditions, to general knowledge about what constitutes a healthy, desirable tree.

Learn about all that and more with Jim Harrell, veteran UC Master Gardener.  

Harrell comes from a family of orchardists and is intimately familiar with what it takes to get you off to a good start.

Please RSVP to 707-263-6838. A $5 donation is suggested.
