The day was fun! I got to taste a lot of varieties. I really enjoyed everything they had to teach. I will try and go again next year and hopefully it will be held earlier so that I can try more varieties. Just awesome. _________________ Okay, I don't need any more trees. Look!

HAH! No, Juan and I were in different tour groups. I'm sure he'll appreciate that, though. Nice young guy. He drove all the way out from the Cochella Valley area to attend. Thought I had a long drive. _________________ Patty S.

I'm very excited to hear about the EncoreLS. Encore was my favorite mandarin that I grew when I lived in coastal Southern California, and a less seedy version ought to be fantastic. Thank you for the update! |

Ah, Ryan, sorry you didn't get to go this year. It was nice that they decided to split out the commercial industry from just us backyard folks. Much smaller group, easier to get around, the edicational topics were very interesting (pruning, root rot, HLB, and a new pest which name eludes me at the moment. All the paperwork on it is in my car for our CRFG meeting this evening. _________________ Patty S.

Ive never been. . Im sure it was fun and informative. The "meh" was that there where no new varieties all that interesting to me. I guess I was expecting more. Thanks for sharing though. There some cool new varieties coming out of Italy & Europe that are more interesting to me. |

Yes, Juan, that tiny beetle. All my paperwork is in the car. Citrus is not a host plant, but can be affected. _________________ Patty S.

Yea, my stuff is at home. I remember they said it really likes avocado trees, but it will eat what it can. They chew the plant to eat the sap, correct? _________________ Okay, I don't need any more trees. Look! Another tree for sale!!! |
