Heroes of Pawpaw & Persimmon Breeding, Past and Present - NAFEX 2021 Conference

Love pawpaw and persimmon? In this webinar Chris Homanics will talk with Buzz Ferver of Perfect Circle Farm and Darren Bender-Beauregard of Brambleberry Farm about the groundbreaking work of pawpaw and persimmon legends like Claypool, Lehman, Compton, Peterson, Gordon and others. We'll look back at their amazing accomplishments and forward at the implications of growing these native North American fruits today.
This talk was part of the North American Fruit Explorers (NAFEX) 2021 Virtual Conference. The conference featured presentations by expert, non-commercial fruit growers followed by Q&A.
NAFEX hosts the annual meeting and conference, publishes an online quarterly newsletter called POMONA, and connects people together and to fruit, and fruit related content across a variety of platforms from social media, our website, and in person locally, regionally, and through our annual national events.
NAFEX members get complete access to the annual meeting/conference, recorded sessions from our past annual conferences, access to monthly virtual meetups for fruit growers, four digital or print editions of the quarterly POMONA journal, access to 50 years of digitized and searchable POMONAs, and links to regional resources.
Our focus is solely on fruit growing in North America (U.S., Canada and Mexico) but international members are welcome. Membership is extremely affordable. We encourage you to join us at nafex.org.
