Christmas Tree Growers to Meet

The Georgia Christmas Tree Association has scheduled its annual 2008 fall meeting September 20-21 at Walter Lee’s Greenbriar Creek Farm in Bishop, Ga.

Featured speakers will be Dr. Jean Woodward of the University of Georgia, who will make a presentation on Christmas tree diseases, and UGA’s Kent Wolfe, who will give an overview on agri-tourism.  Training sessions and business meeting also will be held.

A farm tour in the afternoon session is designed to give growers a chance to see the way the farm operates, including a discussion of procedures with other experienced growers.  Several vendors will be on hand offering supplies to growers.
