From the Master Gardeners to your family, we hope you have a wonderful holiday. The Master Gardener Program staff and volunteers are thankful to Stanislaus County! Thank you to our CEO's Office and Board of Supervisors for believing in our program and supporting it since 2018.

We look forward to bringing more programming on topics you care about like planting and pruning bare root fruit trees, spring vegetable gardening, culinary herbs, and how to create a wildlife habitat in your backyard (just to name a few). Stay tuned for upcoming class announcements!

Hello Anita, thanks for your question. Now is the time of year when you can find bare root fruit trees at nurseries and gardening centers. Call around to see what you can find. You'll also want to investigate whether you want a 'Fuji,' type persimmon you can eat fresh that's crunchy like an apple, or 'Hachiya,' the persimmon used once soft for baking. Personally when this one is soft I like to just eat it with a spoon.
