Thinking of growing fruit trees at home? Already have fruit trees you want to be sure are happy and healthy? Join Monica Maggio of Core Home Fruit and learn the top ten tips and techniques to best help you select and successfully grow fruit trees in the Pacific Northwest. Monica will discuss site requirements and preparation, pollination needs, general maintenance requirements of different fruits, and how to select a good fruit tree.
Monica Maggio’s mission is to continually harness and cultivate her inner plant nerd in ways that benefit the greater Portland metro/Clark County communities.
