HOW TO GROW APPLE & PEAR | LIVESTREAM

Growing apples was essential to American families before the 20th Century. Drinking water was often not safe so the average American (over the age of 15) annually consumed more than 80 gallons of either cider or beer. 80 gallons of cider is made from 3000+ apples. Currently we consume less than 20 pounds of apples per year. Apples remain, however, one of the most important fruits grown in our country.

What is exciting is that in the last generation we have determined that just about any apple will grow and produce successfully in local gardens. While they grow differently in our mild climate they manage to produce top quality fruit.

During the class Gary covers care and the various cultivars that we promote.

Gary also covers pears. Unfortunately pears are heavily dependent upon adequate winter chill to fruit properly and we have relatively few cultivars that will perform well locally. These are discussed along with a few promising new introductions.

The quince fruit, which is one that is unknown to many, will also be discussed.
