The meeting brought together horticulturists, agricultural experts, and nut growers, all focused on advancing the cultivation of nut species suited to colder climates, including walnuts, chestnuts, and hickories. The report highlights the ongoing research and practical techniques to improve orchard management, propagation methods, and pest control to help boost the production of these valuable crops.One of the major topics discussed was the continued development of disease-resistant nut varieties, particularly focusing on combating diseases like chestnut blight that had severely affected nut orchards. Presenters shared their findings on grafting techniques, tree care, and the importance of selecting disease-resistant strains to ensure healthy and productive trees. Additionally, the meeting explored ways to expand the commercial market for nuts, including the promotion of their nutritional value and their potential for broader use in food industries.
