Sandra Anagnostakis, PhD, Department of Plant Pathology at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, will speak at the Hunnewell Building of the Arnold Arboretum on Thursday, March 21, beginning at 6:30 pm, on the topic of Growing Nuts in the Northeast. There are many nut trees that can easily be grown in Massachusetts. These can be interesting hobby plants for your back yard, a source of nutritious nuts for your table, or provide a little extra income from their sale. In this talk you will hear about starting an orchard, the characteristics of several species of nut trees, their problems, and suggestions for harvesting and marketing the nuts.  $5 for Arboretum members, $15 for nonmembers, and registration may be completed on line at www.arboretum.harvard.edu.  Image from cdn.sheknows.com.
