The San Diego
Chapter of the California Rare Fruit Growers was created to educate
people about rare fruits, to identify fruits that are adaptable
to the local area, and to propagate and to exchange plant materials.
When
and where do we meet? 7 p.m., fourth Wednesday of the month
(except during November and December, when it shifts to the third
Wednesday) in Casa del Prado Building (usually Room 101), in Balboa
Park.
During the year,
the San Diego Chapter has many activities related to growing rare,
unusual and exotic fruits. Membership is open to anyone with an
interest in growing fruits in the San Diego area and a desire to
improve their gardening skills.
Our meetings
cover a wide variety of subjects such as selecting rare or semitropical
fruit trees, how to plant and take care of them, how enhance your
garden with fruit trees, and what to do with your new source of
food.
During our meetings,
we have a raffle of rare and exotic plants, mostly scarce fruit
trees, donated to the Chapter by our generous membership. We also
have a fruit tasting table, where the members get to enjoy fresh
fruit prepared in many ways.
In addition,
members receive a monthly newsletter filled with information about
activities of interest to San Diego gardeners, and recipes using
exotic fruits.

We also welcome suggestions
on how to provide timely and specific information to everyone interested
in growing rare fruits in San Diego.
