Seminar offered for those interested in growing macadamia nuts

BONSALL - Information about growing macadamia nuts in California will be presented by the University of California Cooperative Extension, the California Macadamia Society and the Gold Crown Macadamia Association in a seminar to be held Sat., Nov. 6 from 8:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Prather residence, 6686 Via de la Reina, Bonsall.

The seminar is designed to provide an opportunity for all who are interested to learn about growing macadamia nuts in California.

“In addition to the commercial growers, macadamias make excellent back yard trees, are beautiful as landscaping, and can be grown in tubs on your patio,” said Jim Russell. “The macadamia is native to Australia and has been grown in California continuously since 1879.”

The seminar ($20 per person) includes a continental breakfast and lunch.
