Class instructors will engage participants in the most current information for Texas pecan orchard development and management, including hands-on instruction of orchard establishment, sunlight management, tree training and grafting.

Participants should wear warm clothing, because of the winter season during which this class is taught. Outdoor field trips to the pecan orchards will be taken, so appropriate footwear should be part of participant attire as well.
