Orchardists will have a couple of chances to gather more tips from the University of California Cooperative Extension on prune and walnut production in the coming weeks.
Tehama County's 2013 Walnut Day will be held Feb. 1 at the Elks Lodge, 355 Gilmore Road, Red Bluff. The 8 a.m. workshop includes talks on walnut blight, husk fly management and irrigation. The $15 tuition includes lunch.
A week later, a Prune Day at the Elks Lodge Feb. 8 will include talks on nitrogen nutrition and disease management. The 8 a.m. Workshop costs $15 and includes a buffet lunch.
Pre-registration is requested. Visit http://cetehama.ucanr.edu/ or call (530) 527-3101.
The workshops will provide virtual bookends to a busy week in the north state, which will also host the Colusa Farm Show Feb. 5-7 and the Sierra Cascade Logging Conference and forest products expo Feb. 7-9 in Anderson.
