NYNGA English Walnut Tour

  • Saturday, August 15, 2026, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Carl Albers homestead planting, which also hosts a significant trial for the NY Nut Growers Association English Walnut Project, has grafted shagbark and shellbark hickories, apples, pears, plums, black locusts, and a vegetable garden. Carl is doing his best to foster early nut production through organic fertilization and other options for regenerative nut tree culture. You will learn about soil fertility, ways to improve soil drainage, and a regenerative approach to growing nut trees.
