The 2026 Principles of Fruit and Nut Tree Growth, Cropping, and Management Course will take place in Davis, California from March 9 to March 13, 2026. The course is designed to teach the fundamentals of tree biology that are important for orchard management and business decisions. Over five days, participants will attend lectures and field demonstrations covering basic plant biology and how it connects to orchard practices.
Attendees also have the option to participate in a week of guided field tours after the main course. These tours will include visits to breeding, growing, and processing facilities across California’s Central Valley.
