This report is based on a workshop held June 13, 2012 covering the basics of Fruit Tree Production. The reports following this one will summarize workshops on more specific topics including organic pest management, canopy management, and fruit tree budding. They are all hosted by Evergreen in Vancouver, BC; the hands on portions of the workshops are carried out in Evergreen’s mobile urban orchard which consists of 60 dwarf apple trees. This workshop was facilitated by Dr. Kent Mullinix, a pomologist who has been studying fruit trees for the past 35 years. He attended the University of Missouri where he earned a B.Sc. in Agriculture, M.Sc. in Horticulture (specializing in Pomology) and Ph.D. in Agriculture Education (curriculum and program development, crop sciences and soil conservation). He also earned a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia in Plant Science (specializing in integrated pest management). He is a Professional Agrologist with the British Columbia Institute of Agrologists and is currently working as Director, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security, Institute for Sustainable Horticulture, Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
