How Sweet It Is: California Rare Fruit Growers To Hold Tasting
at Cal Poly Sept. 4
SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Cal Poly's College of Agriculture, the California Rare Fruit Growers organization and the Dave Wilson Nursery are sponsoring a fruit tasting at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 4, at the Cal Poly Crops Unit.
The public is invited to the free annual event, which will feature between 30 and 35 different fresh fruits.
Guest expert Tom Spellman of Dave Wilson Nursery in Hickman will give a short talk, and everyone attending will have the chance to taste the fresh fruit. The Dave Wilson Nursery, a major national provider of backyard and commercial fruit trees, will provide all the fruit.
Crop Science students will be on hand to answer questions, and a wide variety of fruit trees will be available for purchase.
The Crops Unit is on Highland Drive at Mount Bishop Road, just west of the railroad tracks.
