This section of our Tree Fruit Website contains educational and informational video resources related to tree fruit production. Expert Presentations by WSU and visiting scientists, Video Interviews, Video Tutorials, and WSU Tree Fruit Workshops and Classes offered in our region are all found here.
Expert Presentations
WSU research scientists and invited guests present their tree fruit research results and share their knowledge of topics in YouTube video format. Videos include invited seminars, grower meeting presentations, lab visits, and field day events. They are listed in chronological order, with the most recent on top. By visiting the main “About” section of the website and choosing “Videos”, the videos page loads with a “Search” box at the top of the page. By using this search feature, you can search by keyword to more quickly find videos that relate to the specific topic you are interested in.
