Texas is a difficult place to grow fruit. Drought, flood, hail, too hot, too cold, insects, and diseases are some of the major challenges faced by Texas growers.
The theme for our main conference (October 19) this year is "Thinking Outside the Texas Fruit Box." We will examine 12 important fruit crops, challenging ourselves re-envision production practices and share new and emerging technologies that may help to mitigate some of the many challenges faced by growers.
Fruit crops discussed will include blackberries, figs, peaches, pears, olives, table grapes, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, apples, apricots/plums, and persimmons.

Register today and don't forget about our virtual option if you can't make it to Fredericksburg in person!
