All About Apple Trees
The California Rare Fruit Growers of North San Diego County presents a talk with Kevin Hauser.
He will discuss “Apple Trees for Hot Climates and the Tropics” and will lecture on apple culture for a warm climate including suitable varieties, planting, training, fertilizing, thinning, and harvesting, as well as culinary uses of different varieties. He will also provide an informative look into the world of how apples are grown in the tropics, with zero chilling hours and seasons governed by rainfall, not temperature or day length.
Kevin is an amateur pomologist who specializes in growing apples in hot climates and the tropics. He grows over 100 varieties of apples at his home in Riverside, California and is the author of Growing Apples in the City: Growing Apples in a Warm Climate.
