About The Club
|
|
The Arizona Rare Fruit Growers is a chapter of the California Rare Fruit Growers,
and is a non-profit club organized in 1996 by Scottsdale Physician, Dr. Fred Yerger
and his daughter, Allison, a landscaper and a student of horticulture at Arizona State University.
Doctor Yerger successfully cultivated a wide variety of tropical and subtropical fruit trees for
years at his home in Scottsdale. His desire to share the experience and knowledge evolved into the Arizona CRFG Chapter.
The purpose of our organization is to promote the culture and preservation of fruiting plants
that most would not associate with Arizona’s arid climate. Our members are constantly experimenting with
methods for adapting these rare fruits to our areas somewhat hostile growing conditions.
Through our website, our meetings, and our semi-annual plant sales, we strive to educate the public
on how the novice to the advanced gardner can successfully grow rare fruit in Arizona.

Monthly Meetings

The Arizona Chapter meets at 7:30 PM the second Thursday of every month. A typical meeting
may include a speaker (either a guest or a club specialist), as well as members sharing
fruit and fruit produce, seeds, home propagated plants, and personal experience and expertise
in budding and grafting. There may also be a club plant auction.
All meetings are held at the Maricopa County Cooperative Extension in the Palo Verde Room - 4341 E. Broadway Road, Phoenix, Arizona.
Guests are always welcome. See you there!
