Regional Grower's Meeting

The regional growers meeting is this Saturday! The meeting is taking place at the Marion Gerrish Community Center in Derry, New Hampshire (see directions below) from 12:30-4:30, though I won't be surprised if the meeting lasts longer, as we have a lot to cover! Coffee and snacks will be provided. Lunch is on your own.

An agenda for the meeting is attached. I will present on seed orchards and data management, and prepare some information on soil testing and intern funding. The rest of the material will be addressed as an open discussion. It would be helpful if people would read the TACF Journal article describing seed orchards: https://tacf.org/journ_vol16-1_02.pdf.

Let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday!

Leila

🍂 As autumn arrives, chestnut trees at TACF’s Meadowview Research Farms enter dormancy, leaves turning gold and brown before falling. This cozy pause is nature’s renewal, while staff use the time to plan, prepare, and continually refine methods across the field, nursery, and lab. Dormancy sets the stage for a strong spring and a year of progress in chestnut science. 🌳

Will Chestnut trees grow in the North?

I have several chestnut trees on my farm and they produce every year. I know the wildlife loves them. 

Wish mine would start producing
