We are sure that our 2013 meeting will be just as informative and enjoyable as last year's meeting which was held July 2012 at the University of Kentucky in Lexington.

Those who attended got to meet old friends from prior meetings, catch up on nut growing challenges and successes, see interesting exhibits on commercial and hobbyist nut growing activities, taste nut cultivars, attend talks given by knowledgeable growers and scientists, and meet with nut growing experts to talk about specific issues affecting their nut trees.

We look forward to seeing you in Michigan.

Nut growers--from those who have yet to plant their first tree to those interested in breeding techniques--will find the resources to help them advance their knowledge of nut growing on this Web site.

Under "Basic Nut Growing," beginner nut growers will find the information they need to plant their first nut trees. More advanced growers will find a scion wood exchange, help from nut tree experts, books for nut growers and the NNGA library most useful in the "Resources for Nut Growers" section . Horticultural students will find guidelines for research grants. Additional nut grower resources are: a calendar of nut grower events, recent news about nuts and nut trees, feature articles, and links to nut related organizations and to off-site resources.
