Growing Nut Trees

The August 11th meeting of Roleystone Organic Growers will be a very informative one.  Roleystone resident, Chris Oliver will be giving a talk on how to grow nut trees.

Growing nut trees is a project that will profit you for years to come if you do your homework and put a little work into doing it right from the start. The type of tree you can grow will depend on what type of soil you have, what type of land you have to work with, and of course what you like to eat.

Chris will talk about how to plant, prune, water, fertilise and harvest to get the most out of your nut trees. He will also talk about what to do if the pests invade including the kind we all love to have around but not necessarily eating our nuts- birds and kangaroos.....

Chris has over 33 years of teaching experience at TAFE, a degree in Botany and a diploma in Horticulture, and is very keen to share his knowledge with others.

The meeting is on Wednesday August 11th at 7.30pm in the Roleystone Family Centre, 19 Wygonda Rd, Roleystone.  Entry $3-members free.
