Lindcove REC displays citrus fruit for tasting Dec. 9

Visitors compare citrus at a Lindcove REC tasting event in 2015.

Lindcove Research and Extension Center invites the public to their citrus fruit display and tasting. On Dec. 9, from 9 a.m. to noon, they will be hosting their annual free event where visitors can taste and see more than 100 citrus varieties grown at the center.

Citrus enthusiasts can have their citrus variety, horticulture and pest management questions answered by UC Master Gardener volunteers and UC Cooperative Extension experts.  

Bags of freshly picked citrus will be available for $5. Visitors can choose from cara caras, navels, mandarins or assorted citrus from four bins. 

Lindcove Research and Extension Center is located at 22963 Carson Ave in Exeter.

Lindcove REC fosters research, education and outreach programs focused primarily on citrus, but also has projects on avocado, olive and pomegranate. It supports research projects by University of California academics as well as local and regional partners that address critical needs in horticulture, pests and diseases and breeding new varieties.
