We will begin at the Extension office with young fruit trees,
then move to a nearby location for larger trees and other types of fruit.
We start at 10 with a short break for lunch around noon then go till about 3, or as long as people still have questions.
The weather can be warm or cool this time of year, so dressing in layers is advisable. Do pack a lunch as fast food in Duncan is not available.
