BMGA member Charlene Koehler once again graciously volunteered to organize BMGA’s Fall Fruit Tree Sale which is a sales tax exempt fundraiser for BMGA.  Information on how to order is below along with a link to the order form.  Due to Hurricane Harvey, many gardeners and fruit tree growers lost trees in the floods.  BMGA’s sale offers an opportunity to replace flood damaged trees and fill in the gaps in your orchard.  The trees available for order are appropriate for BMGA’s four county area, but if you have any questions, please contact Charlene at 979-885-4250 or email her at citrusbmga@gmail.com

Also, check-out further information about growing fruit from AgriLife.
