Redman Orchard Welcomes Workshops

The Redman Orchard outside of Whitehall is a research site for the MSU Extension and was planted in 2014. The orchard is owned by Joe and Lisa Redman. A Specialty Crop Block Grant was awarded to MSU Extension through the Montana Department of Agriculture to establish tree cultivation research sites across the state of Montana.

Topics included in the workshops held Wednesday, June 15, included tree pruning, pollinators, and soil fertility. Thirty residents from the Whitehall area attended the workshop.

Kaleena Miller, MSU Extension Agent for Madison and Jefferson counties, organized the workshops. Abi Saeed and Mac Burgess from MSU Extension instructed.
