Now may be the time to start thinking about next year’s growing season.
Penn State Extension is offering an online course to teach individuals or professionals who are interested in the fruit growing industry. The course is designed for beginning growers interested in understanding the details of choosing an orchard site and preparing to plant.
Extension educator John Esslinger said growing tree fruit is challenging and this course will prepare growers for a variety of things- whether they’re looking to grow pick-your-own cherries or specialty apple varieties for hard cider.
