  • Sucker Control Options for Hazelnut Growers

    Probably more than any other tree nut crop, hazelnuts love to produce suckers, especially in their early years of development.  Too many suckers can divert a young tree’s energy and slow down the overall growth and productivity of the tree.  Watch this brief interview with Marcelo Moretti from Oregon State University as he shares what growers can do to mitigate this.  Read more about it in Pacific Nut Producer Magazine. Don’t currently receive this monthly publication?

  • CA Almond Export Situation Improves, Almond Alliance Update

    As almond growers were preparing for harvest this year, there were major concerns as to whether their crop would have a home overseas, due to port and logistical issues (both locally and worldwide).  The Almond Alliance of California quickly worked to bring authorities together to address this issue and do whatever it takes to get product onboard ships destined to our almond export countries.  Watch this video with Almond Alliance President Aubrey Bettencourt, as she shares how conditions have improved with more work to be done. She will be presenting more information on this at the Tree & Vine Expo on November 8 in Stanislaus and at the Grape, Nut & Tree Fruit Expo on November 11 in Fresno, so be sure to register FREE at https://agexpo.biz/ to attend.
