Author: Jackie Kuehn NAFEX is us. You and me. Pomona is a member-written publication. Without you, we have nothing to say.

Tell us what fruits and nuts you are growing, how they are doing in your USDA or Canadian hardiness zone, what special techniques you may have used to enhance your fruit’s success.
