Almond Variety Trials: 2025 Field Meeting
Luke Milliron, UCCE Orchards Advisor, Butte, Glenn, Tehama Counties 

What: Walking tour of two UC almond variety field trials planted at the Chico State Farm. Varieties  under evaluation include Yorizane, Shasta, Independence, Bennett-Hickman, and Pyrenees.  

When: Wednesday April 30, 9-11 AM 

Why: Evaluate the performance of new varieties for yourself to help you make a more informed tree  buying decision.  

Where: UC Regional Almond Variety Trials (est. 2014 and 2023) at CSU, Chico University Farm:  search Google Maps for “Organic Vegetable Project (OVP)” (located at 311 Nicholas C Shouten Ln,  Chico, CA). This will get you in the right direction, but you will need to continue driving past the  OVP (see below). These directions will have you enter the farm on Nicholas C Shouten Ln and stay  straight continuing past the farm office/pavilion/dairy unit. However, continue straight past where  the Google Maps directions end at the greenhouses and Organic Vegetable Project. You will  continue straight towards the back of the farm (past a farm gate) until you can find parking along the  almonds on your right-hand side.
