April 20 , 2024- Avocado Girdling

Time: 9:45am – 11:30am

In Person Meeting at South Coast Botanic Garden

The topic of girdling a tree is one for a horticulturist's back pocket.... It is seldom required unless used in a rare production scenario specifically tailored to the practice... But for the avid horticulturist, it is a wonderful topic to recognize and on occasion utilize. Some of you with seedling trees or very low-yielding trees will soon be able toexperiment!

Presented by Gray E. Martin, an inventor and holder of 10 avocado patents including his namesake GEM.
