University of Maine Cooperative Extension plans to offer a webinar for home gardeners on growing unique fruits in Maine at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11.
Orchardist and nurseryman Jesse Stevens will present “Beyond the Apple: Growing Unique Fruit in Maine,” focused on lesser known perennial and woody crops. For 15 years, Stevens has been trialing a wide variety of fruit- and nut-bearing plants in western Maine.
He will share his experiences of growing, propagating, harvesting, marketing and utilizing species like hardy kiwi, haskap and figs, according to a news release from Rebecca Long at the extension.
Registration is required; a sliding scale fee is optional.
