Fruit trees bring sweetness, beauty, and joy to our homes. Join Nicko Rubin of East Hill Tree Farm nursery to learn all about growing and managing fruit trees holistically. Nicko will share as much as he can, from variety and rootstock selection, soil and site considerations, through planting and long term care, as well as some fruit from his trees. Discussion will cover apples, pears, plums, cherries, and peaches. Plenty of time will be given for your questions. This will be outside so come prepared for the weather.

Nicko Rubin founded East Hill Tree Farm in 2008 on the land where he grew up in Plainfield, VT, and he is the vision and action behind all operations. He holds a Master’s in Sustainable Landscape Planning and Design from The Conway School in Northampton, MA.
