The Stanislaus Sprout

Recently, our Stanislaus County Master Gardener Program Help Line has received calls about citrus trees.

[From the UC Master Gardener Program Statewide Blog] Proper irrigation and drainage are critically important for the health of plants and trees.

In December, UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners in Stanislaus County offered library classes on planting and pruning deciduous fruit trees.

Knowing when to harvest any citrus fruit involves the question of its degree of maturity. Technically speaking, there is no ripening process in citrus fruits and no such thing as "tree ripe" fruit.

This past week, Master Gardener volunteers Alice and Crystal taught an Herbology class at the Modesto branch of the Stanislaus County Library on December 16, 2022.
