Interesting Lecture near Chicago, on Peach Trees

 On February 24, 2008 at 1 PM, there will be a lecture  by Dennis Northon of
Royal Oak Farm on Hardy Peaches and Pest Management.  The lecture itself is
free,
but there is a parking fee of $15 per car to get into the Chicago Botanic
Garden.
The Botanic Garden is located in Glencoe Illinois, just East of Hywy 94 off Lake

Cook Road.

 Something for you on peach trees.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

 Sorry

The book on pruning is here: www.shigoandtrees.com

 You will use every opportunity to sneak in a plug for your junk.  I did not ask
for
your help, only invited people to a lecture by someone who knows a hell of a lot
more about peach trees than you do..

 Its hard when you have an understanding of peach trees.

Where is their dissections at explaining the response of peach trees to
pruning?

See I understand the internal response to pruning.  Again, where is their
dissections at or don't they dissect trees?

BTW my junk is more then you have to offer.  The biggest pest for peaches is
the improper pruning by humans.  do they address that pest?
